Sometimes, the most helpful part of the computer is...
And then, after I'm done? The best part. Shutting down the computer. Turning it off. Hearing the silence as the motor stops humming. Switching my attention to other projects and needs. Focusing more on my boys while they're still young enough to be here, under my roof. Yes, the off button is a beautiful thing.
I'm going to be keeping the computer off for a few days. Thanks to the beauty and wonder of Blogger's post options, I've scheduled some posts to publish every now and then. But I'll be away from the computer, so if you're looking for some kind of online presence or response from me, you won't get it. Don't be surprised. :)
If all goes as planned, I'll return to the online world sometime this coming week. Until then, friends, may your days be touched by the strong, sweet hand of God...and may you faithfully respond, as you hear His voice calling to you.

Awesome and encouraging! I too can easily find myself lost in the world of the great wide web, and I too just savor those moments when I step away from it all and live in the here and now in MY home, not in someone else's! :)
Good for you! I'm finding myself spending less time on my blog than I want, but I seem to have so much real life living to do that I can't squeeze it in! Hopefully soon.
Have some good "off" days!
For a while my computer would just randomly shut off. I took it as a sign to go do something else. When ever it would happen I would think about posting some kind of FB status about my new spend-less-time on the computer strategy but since my computer was off, that was hard to do. ;)
Once it got to the point that I couldn't do the online stuff I needed to do, I had to send it in for repairs.
i know what you mean; managing computer is a toughie for me...i'm glad we're starting school because that helps with cutting back on blogging/emails/Twitter, you know what i'm saying?
i'll miss your online presence friend!! have a great blogging break, OK? :)
