Yes, I have been absent for over 6 months. I decided that I could not justify the amount of time I was spending on the computer. I tried just keeping up with the Google Reader which would show items I liked or felt informative from my favorite sites, but that too seemed to take up alot of time. There are an unlimited number of wonderful sites, and one post usually links to another, and that to another, . . .
It was very hard to break the habit of reading all the wonderful posts from all the wonderful sites out there. I thought I would miss something really important or some idea that was genius. Well there are some wonderful resources and ideas for homeschooling and practicing our Catholic Faith and I am sure I have missed out on many great ideas. Yet being more accountable for my time has been a blessing.
So now I reenter the world of blogging very slowly and with much discernment. It is Lent and I have three books going at once, along with the Lenten liturgical activities that accompany homeschooling and Catholic life! My next post will be on spiritual reading.
