Lesson Learned

I didn't think it would be hard to turn my back to social media, but after six and a half days, I most certainly felt the separation from everyone....almost like a loss of friendship. Was it hard? Oh yes, very much so. I still can't quite figure out if it was a loss of the cyber connection with my blogger friends, or just dealing with the quietness once you take technology out of your life.

I found myself wanting to share my day with everyone, but then remembered I made a decision to step away for a while. I highly recommend everyone step away from social media and other forms of technology for a small time. If anything, just do it for a mental break.

To sum it up, it was a good week for me, despite the cold subzero temperatures. Before the cold snap hit, I was able to snowshoe after work, plus get in a little elliptical workout at the fitness center, but I thoroughly enjoyed the other nights during the week where I could just be quiet. Of course Bike man had to tease me about not blogging or not checking into Facebook.....he knew it was hard for me. He's my watchdog, in a healthy way.

I can't wait to catch up on every one's blogs, however, I'm limiting on how much time I spend each night or weekend on the computer. Sometimes change is good.....is needed.....and is healthy.
