Going On A Diet (A computer one, that is!)

I've been pretty scarce around here lately (and when I say here, I mean on blogs, at Facebook, on Rwitter, and just about everywhere else I generally hang out on the computer). I have missed you all, but my life right now shows no indication of slowing down any time in the next week or so.

You see, we're moving. No - it's not a long-distance move (in fact, we're only going about a dozen miles away), but we have been living in this house for 13 years. And we're downsizing. In other words we (mostly I) have a lot of work to do.

We have to be out of our house by mid-April - though we are SERIOUSLY aiming for some time during spring break (which runs from April 2 to 11 - preferably in the first half of that time). I haven't done a lot yet as far as packing. So I need time to work on this (and less temptation).

So, I'm going on a "computer diet." Starting after I go to bed Friday evening, I won't be on Facebook, Twitter, (except possibly an occasional tweet/FB status update from my cell phone), blogs, FaithWriters, or, generally, the internet. I WILL be checking my email, but I will try to limit my email time to an hour a day.

How long will this go on? I'm really not sure. My guess is somewhere between one and two weeks. But I'll see. Once I feel like I HAVE the time, I WILL be back.

I truly appreciate your prayers! Blessings to you all.

My One Word: 2016 and 2017

Most who know me know I am a very goal-oriented person (in fact, I already shared my goal wrap-up for 2016 and my new ones for 2017 on this...
