When I was at Cliff College, we used to do a particularly crap sketch called "Life, what's it all about?" In it someone read out a script ("You get up in the morning, brush your teeth, eat your breakfast, go to work, work hard all day, come home, eat your tea, go to bed"- repeat until funny) and someone acted out what the narrator was saying. Occasionally things were added, "Go out for a drink with the boys..." etc. and needless to say the point was these things aren't essentially give meaning to life.
this post from TallSkinnyKiwi highlights that similarly although the blogosphere might make you and I smile and think, it's not that important and is perhaps over valued. TSK writes,
"our family was discussing it last month during our travels and we decided that I should have more time boundaries on my blogging. As of this week, I will not be blogging on weekends and will reserve key family times, such as evenings, for non-computer related activities. My policy a few months ago was DO LESS, BLOG MORE. But now it is BLOG LESS, LIVE MORE.
So my family now gets more of me and you, if you are a regular reader of this blog, will get less of me. Hope thats OK with you. I will still journal what is going on and stay on top of things as I observe them, but in a balanced manner.
And that Top500 blog award? Well . . I probably wont be on the list next year, but at least my kids will remember me without a keyboard."
Over the past four weeks, I've been on what I believe is technically known as 'gardening leave', in that time so much could have been done, so many lengths of the pool swam, so many novels read, so many friends wrote to but instead i redesigned my blog... bugger! Really looking forward to starting at Traidcraft on Monday, hoping with it my life can have somekind of routine again, where God and people feature a little more and this blooming laptop features a little less!
