Maybe
you’ve heard it was coming.
Maybe
in your heart of hearts you knew you were going to be part of it.
Personally,
I didn’t need much encouragement to join.
Join
what, you ask?
The
Digital Detox of 2015.
In
fact, I only happened to come across the naming of this phenomenon in passing
so I’m already pretty much Internet detoxing. Have been for a while.
I
have a few favorite blogs I read (Laura
Pearl’s and Nancy Carabio
Belanger’s) and a site I
particularly like, but other than that I’m not on Facebook or Twitter. The digital
world just seems so noisy and for my introverted self, just too much yammering
and clammering.
Even
the Catholic digital world is just so, well, secular.
A
few friends I know are also part of the Digital Detox but haven’t named it as
such; they just knew deep in their souls that it was time to pull back from
what was close to becoming social media addictions.
I
received a puzzle for Christmas and have been enjoying the challenge of the
1000 piece Italian scene! I couldn’t have received a better gift for this quiet
time.
God’s timing is, as they say, always perfect!
