Missing the Online World



6 months

That's how long I've been away from my online world.  It feels like a lifetime.  (Blogger has changed drastically and I'm loving it.)  I'm not sure if I've changed internally but externally my life is dramatically different.  I feel as if I've accomplished a lot towards my life goals but unsure as to whether it's made a difference to my life. 

Initially, I stopped delving into the online world because my account was hacked. It made me feel very violated and unsure of sharing.  Then, I stayed away because I felt spending time online perhaps made me miss out on opportunities and experiences in real life. 

Lately, I've realized it still feels like something is missing from my life.  I MISS:
  • conversing with the people I've "met" online,
  • reading about their experiences,
  • sharing about books and miscellaneous life crap, and
  • writing.
Going forward, I hope to balance my need for online time with my desire to explore the world.  So don't be alarmed if you suddenly see me commenting on your blog or posting sporadically, I'm getting back into the game.

Luckily, my reading has not changed.  Reading has always been my constant in life.  This year is a major exception to my keeping-track-of-my-books obsession.  My reading list is not complete AT ALL.  :(

Bree! I've missed you! I was just thinking about you the other day and what you might be up to. It sounds like a lot has happened in a short amount of time. I'm glad to see you're coming back to blogging. :-)
