And thanks for taking the time to read it and leave a comment- think I need to set a time limit for myself as well, that's a good idea. time to write, then a short bit of time to look around. yesterday I left the computer off all day and it was really quite nice. should do that more often, no doubt!amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481345314712596782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-23418433666073957532012-01-15T07:18:53.034-05:002012-01-15T07:18:53.034-05:00Yes, Yes, I agree with you.....love this post and ...Yes, Yes, I agree with you.....love this post and found you via Beauty that Moves. By the way, I am only giving myself about twenty minutes of computer time to check out blogs then promised myself to turn it off! Your right about clicking and getting sucked into "life online" and forgetting to live the real one that is under your nose. I have to constantly remind myself to "get back to reality". I think like all things, blogging in moderation is creative, motivating and inspirational when done in moderation, but it must be controlled and boundries must be set. I have learned so much from reading inspirational blogs like Beauty that Moves, Soule Mama etc....but I pick my favorites and only venture to new ones (like yours) several times a week for a limited amount of time. Anyway, that is my two cents....but I really liked your post!Only in Louisiana ~ documenting the adventures we call Life!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14145200924247548717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-35729634679368279772012-01-13T20:14:19.628-05:002012-01-13T20:14:19.628-05:00ah, that's good thinking- placement of compute...ah, that's good thinking- placement of computer in undesirable location.... could definitely work!<br /><br />I guess everything is about cycles really, isn't it? cycles and the constant striving for balance.

Cycles of wanting/needing something from outside and then times where I'm really focused on the life within...Even so, though, there's usually a need on my part to find some discipline to turn off/walk away from the computer. Right now, the computer is in the coldest room of the house, so, er, that helps to shoo me away...:)nicholehttp://www.livefree.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-25331916943855573702012-01-11T20:47:53.904-05:002012-01-11T20:47:53.904-05:00I like that- refocusing.I like that- refocusing.amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09481345314712596782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309722443288951322.post-26502088681429447622012-01-11T18:27:54.223-05:002012-01-11T18:27:54.223-05:00I too struggle with this.
