Off The Grid

The last 8 weeks have been chaotic. Since the beginning of September, I haven't had a week without travel or a holiday. It's exhausting. I just completed my last trip and feel like I missed Fall. I have been making an effort to disconnect from time to time. For exmaple, I have stopped checking emails or reading online at night just before bed - it gears me up. And, I have really tried to put down the blackberry while waiting at a stop light or when waiting in the line at the store. But, now that I am home and have no travel plans ahead, it feels good to be back on the grid. I can re-stock the refrigerator and not worry about buying fruit that will turn before we eat it. And, I can unpack my toothbrush. And, it's finally time to delve back into that book I started over the summer.
