Ahhh...

Hi there! Did you miss me? I'm back, and I'm here to tell you that UNPLUGGING is the best thing I have done for my mental health in a long time. It was so nice not to worry or care about who commented on the blog, how many hits I got that day, if I was tweeting enough, or who gave me a thumbs up on Facebook. In fact, it put life back into perspective and was a much needed reminder that there is more to life than this computer screenSeven days - no Facebook, no instant tweet updates, no blog posts, and limited texts (to my sister) and computer usage (to rent bikes, make tee-times, and plan a day trip to Savannah).

So what did I do?

I finished one and a half books. I swam in the pool. I rode bikes on the beach with my husband to watch the sun rise. I cooked gourmet meals for my family which we ate outside while enjoying the ocean view. I got seasick on a boat to Savannah, GA and I saw "Forrest Gump" on a trolley. I watched Bill Cosby lip-sync to Ray Charles, and laughed my head off when Barney told Andy that "Where there's smoke, there's fire water!" I took pictures to share with you...

  4. It looks lovely! So glad you enjoyed your time away and even more glad that you've decided to plug back in. I worried you might decide to go off the grid all together. ;)

    1. Thanks, Molly. It WAS lovely, and I briefly considered going off the grid (at least, personally - not for work, obviously! HA!).
