Back at it

After taking 4 days on a computer fast last week, I'm back at not only work, but also my blog. The fast was good - extra time suddenly available because the computer was off. That meant more time for reading, study, prayer and of course getting the house back in shape after Christmas. Pretty amazing how a simple thing like turning off the computer can change the look of your day. It was challenging at some points not to peak at email- my work seems to always be pushing at the corners of my mind. But, guess what...the work is still there and I'm better for these days of quiet. Solitude is necessary for reflection and even though computers are quiet, it's not solitude with many voices coming to you through that little machine. I've got to book another few days of computer quiet soon.
