i have been spending less time on the computer.
i sometimes think of the days before we had a computer, email accounts or even cell phones.
it wasn’t that long ago.
we had none of those when we first got married.
we would kiss each other goodbye as we left for work and then talk again at dinner.
i miss the simplicity of back then.
don’t get me wrong i realize the luxury of it all and i love getting little love texts from chris.
but the last few weeks i have resisted the urge to sit and browse.
and
i’ve been reading books,
knitting,
trying new recipes,
listening to radio programs,
and
dreaming up new spaces.
my mind has more room.
and i sometimes i like the feeling of only knowing what’s happening right here.
i was just talking to my friend jessica about this and about how i was so glad that i went to college when the internet wasn’t really a big deal yet. here’s to more computer-free hours. xo
I think about those days often too! Enjoy your unplugged days!
oh so very true.
enjoy.
agreed. i think about it often as well. looks like exciting things are happening! i owe you a letter…
I think I need to make myself take time away from the computer too – such a time waster. I still manage to find time for my books though – probably why I never seem to have an immaculate house.
yes, exactly. we’re enjoying internet free sundays here.
You know, I find myself feeling just the same way every year at around this time. The world is too great big and wide and I have access to far to much of it from this little stool right here. I’m very thankful for that, much of the time. But I miss quiet. I sometimes long for the time when we lived without electric at all. Everything was very simple. Though people often mistake simple for easy, and that it was not!
I forgot to say how much I love your pumpkin displays!
I dont comment often….but I love your blog. Your photographs are so touching and meaningful…Just love your work!!!
I feel the same way. I realized lately that I spend way too much time in front of a computer. 40 hours a week at work should be enough though. So (almost) no computer time for me anymore on the evenings and especially the weekend. There´s a life waiting to be lived after all….
