I have decided to follow Nice's and my husband’s advise and lay low for a while… stop blogging and checking the Internet every few hours… and even though I love blogging, interacting with friends and researching, I decided that I needed some time off to stop my obsession with it all. I feel that sometimes the Internet is a strong force that sucks me in and finds it hard to release me…
Hmmm… what I wrote above makes no sense at all does it? I mean how can an object, the Internet, be to blame for my actions? Ok… time to acknowledge the fact that I am the soul person who is driving my ship… it is I… I am the one who is holding on to the Internet as a way of escaping my every day life… as a venue to release…
But it is becoming an obsession… I LOVE IT… and the only thing that keeps me away is when I am on vacation on a far away island where it is hard to leave the kids just to walk around to find an Internet café.
I need to force myself to stop being so obsessed with it… obsessed with numbers, friends, emails, comments, information…
And therefore
I have decided to give my readers a break… give myself a break…
I will take it one step at a time…baby steps… I promise to catch up on your posts as soon as I come back… What am I worried about! It will only be for one day… LOL…. Maybe one day a week… and then maybe I would allocate a certain hour of the day to check everything, add my input… that is it!
I will let you know whether or not I struggled with this challenge… you might laugh… and it is quite funny… but it is a challenge to me considering my obsession.

So, if I comment are you going to read this. If you don't know the term, let me introduce you to a Catch 22!
a logical paradox arising from a situation in which an individual needs something that can only be acquired by not being in that very situation; therefore, the acquisition of this thing becomes logically impossible. Catch-22s are often spoken with regard to rules, regulations, procedures, or situations in which one has knowledge of being or becoming a victim but has no control over it occurring.
So there is that... lol
Enjoy your break. xxoo
LOL... so funny... burst out laughing when I read your comment... thank you... don't worry, the day i chose is tomorrow... to allow my loyal readers to comment first... teehee!
Lol. Yes so funny!
I have had a break over the weekend. It was great! I also find myself taking "natural" breaks more often than I used to. I just get exhausted with it all and cannot read or write another word!
Julia Cameron, author of The Artist's Way, sets this as a task for one of the weeks in her book. Also no reading of any kind - no printed word at all. I skipped that week. ;) It just seemed too much. Maybe it's time.
Oh, yes... have a good break. Enjoy.
The net can be addicting and we all need to limit our time on it. Believe me, I know!!
Oh my gosh...you are so funny ! I completely understand. You love to relate to others and love the stimulation...thoughts..I have decided that I am co-dependent with the internet because of information and FRIENDS! It very well could be like..everyone is a reporter on facebook..blogging...you see something, you must talk about it..expressing your opinion..so often we have ideas..we forget...but then are reminded..and YOU HAVE TO SHARE! lol..this world now!
Hi All,
I am back... and will write about what I felt soon... thanks for your comments... good to be back!
Hi Lana, Just today I am finding myself catching up on my reading and see I have missed so much.
Taking a break is good. When I sit down and open my computer too many times during the day I wonder why I let myself get so sucked in. Breaks are good. Good you took one.
