Between my laptop and my iPhone, I spend WAY too much time online and chatting it up, so I unplugged for the weekend. With very few exceptions, I didn’t call or email anyone, engage in online reading or blogging, play Words with Friends, listen to my iTunes, text, or tweet. I even managed to stay away from Facebook. It wasn’t a conscious decision, but the longer I went without engaging in those activities, the more relaxed I was. I didn’t realize how badly I needed a break!
So what did I do all weekend? I slept in, devoured a great book, planned out our summer, watched Dr. Who with my family, went thrift store shopping, enjoyed lunch with my best friend, visited the library, cuddled with my kids and hubby, and witnessed 5 baptisms at our church. The weekend was not only 90% internet and cellular free (I do run a ministry), it was fun. Now I’m all rested up and ready to face the week ahead of me. 🙂

Sometimes I Write 
I haven’t been on facebook for about a week now. I needed a break too. I went to visit family and then when I came home sunday night I decided to wait a few more days to go on the internet. I too am a bit more relaxed. It’s a good idea once in a while. I really enjoyed the extra time I spent with my husband.

Our power was out for 15 hours on Sunday and we had the best day! We never would have chosen it, but I’m so glad it happened. 🙂
