Today is one of those days when I should be taking full advantage that most of my kids are gone, the weather has finally blessed us with a little sunshine, and for the moment we are all healthy (notice I said "for the moment").
I don't put away much time to check my computer activities anymore. Not because I don't want to . . . . heaven knows I'd spend all day at it. I have to pick and choose and my puny brain is dictating my activities. So fun living with OCD.
This morning, in between running to Odyssey of the Mind for Kaela and Andrew, I have spent time just sitting and trying to catch up on all the wonderful happenings in other parts of my important world. As much as I hate technology, I can't live without it either. So wonderful on so many levels.
I live hundreds of miles from my closest sibling yet I can fire up the computer and see into her home and get a small glimpse of her kids and what exciting things they are doing. More miles away other siblings' lives are marching right along and through the miracle of the Internet I can take a moment and feel a small part of their lives.
Love it and hate it. Technology helps us stay closer, yet it also allows us to live further apart.

Ooooh! Alex and I were just talking about this very thing today! Because of technology we live further away from each other. Thankfully, we can feel connected by the same technology that seperates us. Not so many years ago before tech. took over people didn't move so far away from each other......
I kinda have a love/hate relationship with it too.
Amen sister. Cept, I couldn't help but notice your picture wasn't in there... I was sorta hoping to see your new hair.
