Americans all over the world are getting ready to celebrate their independance this coming 4th of July weekend. Typically it is spent with friends and family having cookouts, watching parades, and enjoying the little ones as they beem with excitment twirling sparklers around in the dark.
The thought of spending quality time with loved ones intriqued me, and made me want to have that more more than just a weekend. After debating on the best way to achieve this, I decided to celebrate my independence in a different way. For one full week I will become "screen free" in an effort to promote more family time. I am officially proclaiming my independence from the intranet!!
My first reaction to this thought was gut wrenching. With a goal to reach, how will I ever accomplish my revivions if I take a week off? I allowed my conscience to weigh back and forth the pros and cons before coming to the realization that if I step back for a few days, my mind will be able to return with clearer thinking and my eyes will be more astute to tracking changings that are needed. So I tell myself that I will be doing my book a favor by taking a few days off.
On Monday July 4th, the official start of the holiday, I will begin my journey of becoming "unplugged." My computer will be shut down and I will break out the sunscreen as I embark on a few days filled with family fun. I look forward to exclusive bonding time and lots of laughs this coming week. When I conclude my independence next week, I will happily turn my computer back on so that I can blog all about the experience. Will I be able to spend seven days away from my screen? Tune in next week to find out!!
