Yesterday was a glorious day. A day made glorious by the absence of the computer.

Undeniably, computers and the internet have made a lot of things possible in my life. But without it, I can also do a lot of things.

I managed to have a leisurely lunch with my sister, bought art supplies and made a layered/textured card.

Except for over-eating at lunch causing my digestive system to go out of whack, I feel so much better with what I’ve done all day than if I had my computer.

The computer and internet fuels my procrastination. I watch too many short clips, read too many unupdated blogs and aimlessly browse Facebook.

I have yet to backup my files and there are a lot of legit things I can do with my time on the computer that I have been putting off.

Being without the computer yesterday allowed me to work my brains a little bit more and got me excited about crafting all over again. I like that.

Maybe I don’t need “I promise you high speed internet and an updated computer at all times for the rest of my life” to be written into our wedding vows after all.
