Breaking Up Is Good To Do

Sometimes the most ridiculous goals are the healthiest.

I set a 101 goal to "break up" with the internet for 10 evenings. Little did I know how challenging that would be. We've definitely become an "I've got to know it now" society.

Before I realized it, most evenings I was doing a quick google search. Or verifying restaurant hours. Or planning our next trip. Or visiting my friend's Facebook pages. {Or blogging!}

Breaking up was definitely something I needed to do.

Finally, this weekend - more than a year into my 101 list project - I stayed away from the internet for a 10th evening.

Do you know what I discovered? It's fun to talk to my husband, to pet the kitties, to cook or to read instead of surfing. Life does in fact exist outside of the internet. {Shocking, isn't it?}

I think I'm going to enjoy taking additional breaks, but I don't want it to be a mandated "meeting a goal" process. After all, that's a "have to," not a "want to."

Who knew this silly 101 list project was going to have such an impact on my personal life?
