You can argue about being on internet, but I think the most important is to be with yourself and have pleasant activity, doesn't matter if you reading the book, laying on the beach or taking photos of the clouds... On the other hand, I had cleaned up my @ socializing, reducing Facebook, etc. Thanks for writing this! There are 2 ends of the stick, good one or bad ;)sigahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261034599767931549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-32542990354190939062011-11-16T13:00:49.493-08:002011-11-16T13:00:49.493-08:00Thanks for sharing.

I meditate daily and I make Mondays (LushLunes) a day in which I take an extra few minutes of ME Time. It's easy to become addicted to TV, Social Media, etc and we need to get off the grid once in a while. I have noticed the way that media in general has changed the attention span of children and it's important to start at home with the example. <br /><br />Best, <br />LiUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15155116476790680637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-78725893462703598142011-11-09T05:05:20.018-08:002011-11-09T05:05:20.018-08:00This was a great post!

I often worry about my oldest son, now in college, who is texting and instant messaging it seems ALL the time. I wonder how does he have time to think, get his school work done or just THINK! with the girl friend always wanting attention from a distance. ((all though, I feel I must say, she is a very nice girl and I do really like her. It just seems to be A LOT of instant contact. . .there is no time to miss each other and wonder what the other one is doing. I feel something is lost by all this instant contact. . . So a mother worries. ;) )) anyway GREAT POST! gave me a lot to think about.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04395804927366343180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-28630169981860880812011-11-09T03:35:06.769-08:002011-11-09T03:35:06.769-08:00I find quiet time after every little job I do in m...I find quiet time after every little job I do in my house. Vacuum cleaning, washing the dishes,...<br />I do a puzzle, a quiz(!!), a telephone call...<br />I like blogging, which is not always easy. A post like yours needs a lot of reading and attention in order to answer or comment in a more or less intelligent way. But I try to pay attention to your entries. <br />Now I'd like to thank you for doing the quiz.<br />Five answers were right. Five were the answers often given to me by a lot of non Dutch people, that's the reason why I wanted to do this quiz.<br /><br />Here they are:<br />3c Our official language is Dutch. Friesian is spoken in the province of Friesland, but Dutch is obligatory in official legal matters. They learn both languages at school.<br />4b. We are a kingdom,<br />5b. We have a Queen.<br />7c. Rotterdam ( the Hague is only a fishing port<br />and Amsterdam has a much smaller harbour than Rotterdam) For a long time after the war Rotterdam has even been the first harbour in the world.<br />10a Gouda produces cheese and candles. In December one of the Tuesdays before Christmas is called Candle Night and then the citycentre is lit only by candlelight.<br />I hope you are not disappointed? I am glad you did join the quiz, for now I know that I didn't inform you all very well! I shall do my best to write more and better about my country.Reader Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-64748034055834799512011-11-09T00:49:20.465-08:002011-11-09T00:49:20.465-08:00interesting post! love my quiet time just me and ...interesting post! love my quiet time just me and myself alone :)Angihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00279357032955801798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1535525493775623042.post-69935738258297696402011-11-08T22:50:54.025-08:002011-11-08T22:50:54.025-08:00Very interesting!
