Learning

Well I'm trying to learn this site and for some reason having a difficult time at it. I did manage yesterday to find a few peoples sites. I know there has got to be tons of sites here but I only found the list of the most popular. I read some parts but one thing did stand out to me. I think this new technology is wonderful. After all I'm writing on it myself!! I do have one concern though...that people are making these sites their main priority. I read about one person who had four children. What caught my eye was that she was sitting in a bathtub full of dirty laundry (ugh...) working on her blog. A bathtub FULL of dirty laundry and she's worried about writing on her computer. With four children I expect she has a lot of wash and other things to get done. I think everybody (especially mothers) need their own private time. Don't get me wrong. But the site was so huge you could see she had put in countless hours working on it. While blogging the washing machine will run and so will the dryer. :) These computers can be a wonderful way to relax but not to the point that it comes before everything else. I've noticed that in some of the magazines now they are talking about people becoming 'addicts' with blogging, facebook, myspace. etc. I find that as sad. I can easily see how that could happen. Its always easier to say whats on your mind when your not facing people. When I worked (I'm disabled now) I was so busy with my job and my family things that I didn't take the time to make friends outside of the work place. Now that I'm disabled my 'friends' are my family. I love my family but I do wish I had made friends. Friends on the computer are nice but don't forget about your friends that you can go out to dinner with. Friends that you can sit across from a table with. Its nice to keep a balance with things. But always put the people in your house first. The computer will be there when you come back.
