Sometimes...

Sometimes every once in awhile, I miss having the internet. But the other 98% of the time I am so glad to be free of it. No TV, no internet, no land line telephone, just me and my little old cell phone, that is something else I'm not even tied to. It seems strange to me, but I feel so free. Free from a sort of bondage I didn't realize existed. Free to read my scriptures again, free to play with my kids because I didn't have to check my e-mail or a blog right now and can you please wait a second because I'm almost done (and maybe an hour later, because it sucks you in) and when you are you're so tired because you've worked your fingers to the bone and you just need to put your feet up and rest them. Free to talk to your husband for an hour or two because the Jazz game isn't blaring in front of you or some other tv show that you have to watch because it's on and seriously what else are you going to do? Free from distraction, free to receive clarity because somehow the distractions take away the clarity and you have to work to find it (which makes you more tired). So while I miss it (rarely really) I am so thankful for the inspiration to quit it all because my life is so much freer for it.
