However, I didn't fast; perhaps I should have. This list is great and I'll be printing it out to re-read often as a good checks and balance.

I have recently had some weeks where I was able to also get away from the computer....on our Central America trip and at our recent priest retreat. It really did allow me to simply focus on folks in the flesh and on my own reading in ways that I need to develop again in my regular life. <br /><br />And....my blog didn't disappear from lack of posts. In fact I feel it helped me to write some better things there. Probably won't be giving up blogging anytime soon, but planning for how much time is spent there is a good thing!<br /><br />Fr C Thanks for this Jennifer.

The list you give is head on for me so far. It kind of feels like getting punched in the face. I appreciate it though. I have only read to number 11 and already I am humbled.

I took a break for a week too -- and then our computer broke down and I was forced to take a second week off and even though I hated it, it was really, really GOOD for me. Hope you don't mind, I linked to this post today!

I decided to "fast" from the computer from 12-2 during 40 Days for Life and found myself so tempted just because I had put that restriction on myself. It has been really good for me though, and I have been trying to keep off the computer at night as well so I can spend more quality time with my husband. Great post!

You said a lot of the things that I have been thinking about too. I wrote a similar post awhile back. A few thoughts I had: "we are becoming a nation of fragmented people, addicted to writing about every aspect of our lives as if writing about it validates its worth...We profane the sacred when we must constantly be chattering about the previously-private intimacies that happen within the walls of our homes on a day-to-day basis. We become disjointed people, there but never fully present." <br />It's here if you want to read it sometime (but then you'd be spending more time online) ;)<br />http://momsinneedofmercy.blogspot.com/2009/09/texting-twittering-and-status-updating.html<br />I enjoy checking in on your blog!<br />It's fun to find "friends" online who you just know you'd have great conversations with in real life! Blessings! Thanks for the great post! You said a lot of the things that I have been thinking about too. I wrote a similar post awhile back.
