I'm Still Here

I don't know why, but for some reason I just haven't felt the urge to stay on top of my blog over the past few weeks.

I don't know if it's because not much is going on in our lives right now, or the fact that I'm still waiting for spring to lift my winter blues.

Really, I think it's that recently I've just been using the little free time that I have differently.

I've been reading more, which has been a shock even to me. I used to label myself as someone who just doesn't read. However, a few months ago a friend suggested that I read The Help. I did, and I loved it! I haven't stopped reading since I finished The Help. Now I have a never ending list of books that I want to read. Who is this person?

I've also been spending less time on the computer in the evenings and more time talking to and snuggling up with Caleb. I feel like we're in a really great place right now, and I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that we're getting more quality time together. ;-)

Don't get me wrong, I really don't want to come across as one of those "holier than thou", "the computer is the devil" people. I don't feel that way at all. I love the Internet, and I love keeping up with people on facebook and by reading their blogs. I didn't make a conscious decision to make these changes, it just happened slowly over time.

I'm not saying that I've made a permanent change and that I'll never blog again. I just hope to find the right balance. Like everyone else, I'm still learning how to juggle time with kids, time with the hubby, time with extended family, keeping up on house work, keeping up with friends, spending time with God and reading his word, and how best to enjoy my free time.

I still love this blog of mine. It's definitely still one of the things I enjoy doing when I do have some free time. I love how it gives me a place to record my thoughts and journal about my life and the lives of my loved ones. So, I know I'll be back soon and I hope I won't neglect this place for too long again.
