Limiting our internet is probably a good idea. I must think about it.

It's always interesting to see them begin to relax once they recover from the shock of not being immediately available via phone. S.

I tell anyone I give the number to that I do not text. That irritates some, and it may be something that I choose to change later, but I live where I'm "employed", so no need to fear a text from my 92 year old "boss".<br /><br />Fact - I was a *very* early adopter of the internet and an advocate of the potential I saw for good. Only later did I really stop and think about the downsides - there are many - of life in the fast lane.<br /><br />I've stopped writing posts on Sundays. I may use the time for more research or off-line writing; more likely, I'll use it as God intended - as rest.<br /><br />Thanks for this - great stuff!Rick Dawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404888395748923673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-9118981104533147842013-07-29T12:04:00.681-05:002013-07-29T12:04:00.681-05:00This spoke right to my heart, Glynn.

Wish I could turn off my phone, too, but with aging parents, that's not a smart thing to do.<br />Rest is important and we do need to rethink our priorities.<br />Great post, my friend!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-31283864032056576782013-07-29T10:01:22.819-05:002013-07-29T10:01:22.819-05:00The boundaries HAVE become so fuzzy. And I've ...The boundaries HAVE become so fuzzy. And I've found that this influences my life satisfaction too. There for a while, even things I would likely have done for pleasure had to be done for work and this greatly diminished the pleasure I obtained from them. This was an eye-opener. I'm trying to take that day--as God did--to look back over the work done and say, "This is good.". I have by no means mastered this, but I'm trying. And I'm finding joy returning in bits and pieces.<br /><br />Good thoughts, Glynn.
