Then, I can go away.<BR/><BR/>I have a Twitter account; but, I don't stay logged in, so I miss new comments. And, I agree, one-liners aren't much of a conversation. So far, I've commented twice, I think; and, I didn't go back to see if there was an answer. I don't think I'll keep 'twittering'!<BR/><BR/>Good post! Now, take some time for yourself away from the computer...haha.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11428590876057416852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668921353752122735.post-79380419064411558732009-02-24T09:27:00.000-07:002009-02-24T09:27:00.000-07:00Colleen, you dear heart, this is such a wise post....Colleen, you dear heart, this is such a wise post. It really strikes a chord with me. After only about two months of blogging, I find myself alternating between loving it in a big way and wanting to delete my blog and flickr account and run in the other direction!! <BR/><BR/>It's just that blog land, like the internet itself is so seductive. You keep discovering more dear people, but how many can you follow? More great craft tutorials, but how many can you try, especially if blogging takes too much time! It's kind of like the curse of plenty - too much noise in my head!! <BR/><BR/>Yet reading your post also demonstrates the joy of blogging - knowing others who feel as we do - finding kindred spirits!!<BR/><BR/>We do have to number our days and establish a balance in our lives. I refuse to let screen/technology time and a virtual life crowd out real life! Can't wait for warmer weather so I can spend more time out in the Lord's light and enjoy stillness.<BR/><BR/>As for twitter and text messaging, all these little snippets - I wonder if people will lose the ability to write in a thoughtful, meaningful way? And what's with this constant need to be in touch with everyone, all the time? I have a cell phone in my purse for emergencies, but I carry it OFF. Most of the time I like being out of touch!!<BR/><BR/>Yikes - sorry to ramble on so! This old fogey is signing off now!<BR/><BR/>PS - love Helen Hayes, there was one classy lady!Shari from Big Yellow Farmhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818529606739972919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668921353752122735.post-37334869367022499352009-02-24T05:11:00.000-07:002009-02-24T05:11:00.000-07:00I agree with Lucy and Nearbear.

Reading books, going to the movies, bushwalking , beachcombing, dining with friends exploring new places but on the other hand it is important to keep up with basic technology. AND blogging is fun as long as you don't become a slave to it. I like meeting new people and learning about their lives.diane bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002292118984909883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668921353752122735.post-54411219344340903262009-02-24T00:39:00.000-07:002009-02-24T00:39:00.000-07:00I have not made many attempts at checking out face...I have not made many attempts at checking out facebook or myspace or twitter or whatever else is out there. I figure this blog space is enough for me along with emails to and from other family and friends. And I agree with you about the books. Have to have the actual book in my hands. I take a book with me everyday to work and read while I eat my lunch. That is when I manage to get most of my reading done.<BR/><BR/>I like you your 9 years of experience of being 50. I guess that means I have 2 years of experience of being 50. Cute. <BR/><BR/>You have a beautiful day as well tomorrow.Neabearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311437927263063301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668921353752122735.post-55615746074823888162009-02-23T21:45:00.000-07:002009-02-23T21:45:00.000-07:00I LOVE this post.

I tried Facebook and I just didn't 'get' it. All those little one-liners of conversation. Why!? And I always thought Helen Hayes was so gorgeous...right up to her death. How blessed she was.RoeHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00131723337404316867noreply@blogger.com
