This period of fasting has not only been hard but eye opening. I realized how much of a crutch my blog and magazine reading was. If I was having a bad day or even just a bad moment I would sit down to read blogs. Any excuse and I was clicking the "next" button on one blog or another. Magazines have also been hard to resist.
I was in line at the grocery store and just out of habit was reading the headlines on the magazines. One of my favorite magazines had a number head lines that I wanted to read up on, so I just bought it. It wasn't until I got home that I realized what I had done. So, right now I have a brand new (unread) magazine!
Four more days left for the fast which is both a relief and saddening. I think I might try to limit my time that I spend reading blogs just so I don't get caught up in it again. Just don't want to "escape" my life anymore. My life is messy, not super easy, wonderful and I don't want to miss it anymore.
Just look at my little guy doing the dishes!
