 OUTSIDE!
Spending so much time glued to this computer is addicting.  Trying to keep up with people. Trying to stay out of the fray of all the drama.  So much to see, so much to hear, so much to learn.

But guess what?  I looked out of my window just now and realized that there's a whole world right outside that is just waiting to be lived in.  There's sunshine, trees, flowers, birds, bugs, water, all waiting right outside. 

I've watched the kids before when we play.  They're so fascinated by everything that's around them.  Most of the kids have never seen a computer, they're more interested in the lizard or the rock or the stick they found.

So I'm going to take a bold step.  I'm going to step away from the computer and limit my computer time, because I want to live.  I need to see the sunshine and feel the wind more. 

I challenge each person to spend at least one hour outside.  Even if it's just playing and dancing in the rain.  If there's lightning come inside, of course.  But there's a beautiful world right outside and I want to take in as much as possible.

If you need me, I'll be outside!

Good for you computers can become addictive and people can forget about life, go out have some fun in the sun and enjoy your day.

PS even walking in the rain can be good at times especially if walking thru parks the smell is intoxicating in the right place.

I love playing in the rain. You're right, computers are addictive. I actually was told that I was irritable and cranky because I was spending so much time on the computer instead of getting fresh air and sunshine.

Today was so awesome! Fresh air is incredible!

I was thinking about you today while playing outside. I was thinking about your ride! Still in training? Can you teach me to ride a bike?

I'm so jealous. It's a super hot summer right now. Just 5 minutes outside and I'm dripping in sweat. I can't wait for it to cool off so I can enjoy the outdoors like you.

Oh sweetness, come see me. We'll sweat in the sun together. Besides that makes a swim even more of a requirement! You are AWESOME!!! I'm not going to let you forget that!

I am also tired to my computer about 6 hours each day, but when it is sunny I do get out and walk for 1 hour,yes it is good to get outside, but as we are in winter now its a bit cold, too cold to get out.

but I agree we all should go and see the beauty of this world.

God loves you

I'll make a deal with you Raymond. We'll go for a walk together and enjoy God's beauty. Cold weather makes a good reason for hot cocoa outdoors!

God is blessing me every day. God bless you as well!

I love being outside ... but the sun hates me so I have to be careful. Haha. I'd rather dance in the rain than sunburn ANY DAY! But, good sentiment! We should all spend more time living & enjoying all the beauties the world offers us.

Come on and dance in the rain with me! We can laugh and splash. And NO sunburn!

You are sooo right, being on the computer can be soooo addictive!!! I am on the computer most of the time at night time, not during the day, even so I can spend hours on the computer! It is sooo bad! I too am going to try and spend less time on the computer as well, as well as going to bed earlier and waking up earlier....

I LOVED YOUR BLOG!!!


Well take care and much love!!!
