We each need to do what helps us keep our lives in balance, but not expect that others should do the same. Being Mindful of what we are actually doing & what choices we are making, is crucial to living the life we had intended rather than the life we are actually living.

Since I left my full-time (read 80+ hours a week) to work from home writing and building a blog/business, I spend a lot of time online. I am trying to limit it when my hubby is home, or my kids come around (the youngest 2 are almost 18 and 20, so they aren't here much!). I want to be able to talk and have them feel like what they say is important to me. I am struggling today as I was not online much at all Fri-Sun, and now we have a snow day and hubby is at home! I have so much I need to be doing, but is difficult with him here! :-D I am going to continue to try and balance my online life better with my REAL life! After all, life balance is what I write about on my blog!

You are so right. The Internet can be as much of a time suck as television. I'm working on becoming less connected. Leaving my cell phone and laptop in another room when I am spending time with my husband and son helps. Considering leaving Facebook. Will I have the motivation to do it this year? Hope so. Yes!
