Abandoning the Internet

My Internet has been down for the past week, but you know, going without it for a while was pretty awesome.

There was no hectic emailing, no frantic Facebooking, no instant messaging-- for an entire week. Only a phone to talk to who I really needed to get in touch with.

It may sound rough, but hey-- I finished a couple of books instead of surfing the web, hung out with friends instead of messaging them, and went outside. (I mean really, how many people forget to go outside because they're on their computers? -- I know quite a few too many, and as much as I love you for reading my blog, I'm hoping you're not one of them.)

So, in the spirit of my fixed faulty Internet connection, I propose a challenge:

Once you've read this, turn your computer off. For a day, a week-- however long suits your lifestyle.

You might surprise yourself with how great it really feels.
