I’ve decided that I’m going to simplify my life. Not that my life is very complicated as it is, but I feel like I own too much, that I’m too connected to people, that I’m too busy seeing what’s going on with others that I don’t take time out for me. There’s so much to distract me that I’m too busy trying to keep up with those things instead of taking my time to not only smell the roses, but grow them in the first place. This may not make sense to you, but it makes sense to me.
I’ve had Twitter turned off (both to my phone, and Twitterific) for about a day and a half now, and frankly, it’s been wonderful. I’ve started knitting again. I’ve got a date tomorrow with a beautiful girl named Stella Marie.
There would be a picture with this entry, but my laptop’s SD reader isn’t working right now. Hopefully, I’ll have some to share tomorrow!
I was wondering where you went (on twitter)! I miss you but I get that feeling too sometimes. I have to turn my phone off every now and then to disconnect and take deep breaths. But than it’s right back to the crackBerry. Or in my case, crackDare.
I get what you are saying. I came to the realization months ago that I spend too much time on the internet. There are some things that I must do online, such as pay bills and hunt for a job, but after that I have trouble disconnecting myself. I end up researching books that I never read and collecting patterns that I never knit. I applaud you for pulling the plug.
