Disconnect

I had every intention of posting a couple of thoughts earlier but I didn't have the time or I forgot. Either way, Sunday morning is here and now I've got some time to think, reflect, and write. The week hasn't been eventful except that I deactivated my Facebook account. Why did I do this? Well, I wanted to see if I could go a week without checking or needing to use the social networking site. Yes, I could have simply not logged on but this didn't seem drastic enough, even if this measure is only temporary. I wanted to disconnect myself. For a couple of days it worked, and then I tried something even more radical - I tired avoiding using the computer except for essential tasks. That was a little more difficult but I tired. It was just a little test and I didn't go too far. I still checked my email, still read the news online at work but at home I spent less time online. It was a nice change of pace. So now the week is basically over. I didn't blog, use Facebook, or spend lots of time online at home. I'll probably go back to my old ways tomorrow... or maybe even later today.
