I have been on a lovely computer break and my has it been divine. I think I will do it again....soon! At times the internet is a wonderful thread out into the world, full of charm and inspiration, and at other times, for me, it is a bit distracting and passive. Even though I try to use it carefully (and when the little one is sleeping) I still find that it takes me away from being in the present. Yes, a little time away has been good. It has given me a chance to reflect on this space of mine, to think about whether I should continue on with this little blog of mine (oh, maybe for a little while longer)and most importantly to read many delicious books and just to be here right now. So, what have we been up too? Baking, sewing, harvesting, chasing chickens, cleaning muddy toes, watching the leaves change color and ready themselves for fall and hoping that this fast flying summer stays around for just a little bit longer! And how about you?
It is always good to have a break from the old computer, I have been getting items ready for Christmas Fairs,it is Winter in New Zealand so it is a good time to be indoors, snug by the fire creating, love and light Marie
ReplyDeletei have had an enforced break too. which was good, i did even read a book or two. i am finding that too much time on the interwebs can sometimes make me feel inadequate and apathetic about my own doings. which is obviously a bad thing. i need to learn better about being happily in the here and now.
ReplyDeleteanyway, i have one of those little yellow tin birds too! and weirdly i first found him in a jar of buttons.
Breaks are good...something I've been contemplating myself. I do hope you stick around though, because I do love coming here and visiting your very charming and inspiring blog. Have a wonderful week!

I totally agree with you. I have been spending a lot of time away from my computer this whole summer. I have been doing such wonderful things with my family that I haven't missed the computer and internet at all!! Again - I love to look at your beautiful photos - thanks for sharing.
