The internet is a great tool. However, I do feel many times when I need to step away from it. When I need to shut down and really focus on my REAL life. My IN-PERSON LIFE. The people around me right now, right here... not "out there" in cyberspace.
So, I am shutting down for a bit. Simplifying my life. Doing things my way. From weight loss to work, it doesn't all have to be SO HARD. I am needing to find that balance of thinking of myself and caring for myself, but not at the expense of thinking for others and caring for others. I get sick of thinking of myself. I get sick of looking at my problems. I just want to live.
How much "improving" can one person do in a lifetime?? And, why? Can't I just be me? Why must I reach some "ideal" form of existence? And "ideal" by WHOSE standards? By WHOSE definition??
I am just me. I don't feel like improving today.

All this wacky techie stuff is a double edged sword. It brings so much into our lives. Yet, it takes so much away too. I have a love/hate relationship with this computer. I remember not having a computer in my house. HOW DID I LIVE? Well, I lived more productively, more creatively, and more sanely. This is the honest truth.
I can't believe how I rely on all this hardware, software, and the daily emails. It is a true addiction. It is glorious and insidious all at the same time.
If you can step back and let it go for a while, I applaud you. I think that is a really GREAT thing. I hope I can muster up the same drive and determination. My art life is suffering and that is not a good thing. BALANCE seems like an elusive butterfly right now. Gosh, where is the butterfly net? I need to catch some satisfaction and CONTENTMENT.
