There is something about being so sick, being so debilitated that you can’t do anything that kind of knocks the lazy out of a person. All of a sudden, I NEED to do EVERYTHING. But I CANNOT do ANYTHING.
For the past few years weeks it seems like I waste A LOT of time on the internet. I waste a lot of time doing stuff other than clean my house, play with my kids or do my business. Lately I feel like I haven’t been able to accomplish very much. And then BAM! I am flat on my back (head elevated enough to keep at least one nostril free of blockage) unable to do anything but surf the web.
And it infuriates me. "I am just wasting time!" I think to myself. And yet, when I am well, I don’t mind wasting the time at all.
Think the man upstairs has a lesson He’s trying to teach me? I do not think getting sick was a coincidence. I done been schooled. Knock that lazy out of my house.



I know just what you mean!! I think using the internet for fun (blogging etc…) when we have other things that we really should be doing gives us a vicarious pleasure. But when we truly have time for it, it’s just not as appealing. This past week I’ve been on a sail boat and even though I can log on just about anytime I want, I’m not. Why? I don’t know. But I’m sure once I’m back at my desk at work, I will be itching to blog like crazy!
