These are some of my addictions. I totally believe they are beginning to mess with my sense of balance. It's great to be able to stay in touch with family and friends...but I think at times I can be too connected to the mundane at the expense of things more meaningful. I need to put down the iPad and pick up my camera manuals; unplug the iPod or wait to play a Words with Friends move and instead unroll my yoga mat and put on a meditation Cd; quit spending so much time checking out Pinterest posts and actually do some home improvement projects. I'm not a total electronics junkie yet...but it's time for some personal intervention. Time to reconnect with balance. :)
Oh dear - I might have to check out Pinterests now :0). I did decide to get back to some older hobbies & knit a funky winter hat but it gave me tendonitis in my shoulder so now I can't do anything at all really - at least electronic gadgets aren't dangerous!! Mind you once it's better I'm straight off to Pilates - it's sitting around going slack that is really the problem!
Oh how right you are. They're all conspiring to take over my life. I came home with a list of projects, but all those that don't require broadband are still sitting on the back burner.
It's time get back to the boat where I have limited power and internet access ...then I HAVE to get back to basics.
@judithg You are so right, Judith...it's the sitting around that has me rethinking things! Don't like the sedentary direction I'm heading. :) I hope that shoulder heals quickly!

@ellida Wish I had a boat to escape to, Graham! I think I'm going to have to institute "electronics free" days for myself. Maybe I'll start with electronics free hours and work my way up to days. :)
My "balance" photo would be much the same. For that reason - and others - I have given up facebook for Lent - real self-denial! Just need to be careful that 365 doesn't take its place!
I couldn't agree more . I Just recently got off FB . I truly miss human interaction . My life was starting to play out online like the " perfect little life " which it definitely is NOT ! I think we all spend far too much time online and pinterest is totally addicting .....sooo many great ideas , but if we spend all our time looking at them - we never do any of them ! I say stop looking at life .....get out there and live it !!!
Great idea for a shot. I have a similar collection. I’m feeling horribly guilty now because you’re right. We’re too tied to the electronic stuff. Winter doesn’t help, though!
