Cutting back.

"It is not our abilities that show what we truly are…it is our choices."
~Dumbledore

I'm cutting back on my electronic time.  I want to spend more time off the TV and computer and live my life a little more.  I will continue to be on for checking my facebook and email, posting my quotes and blogs, but I need to cut down on video game time and the time I spend just wasting on the computer. 

With the new semester starting next week, I need to focus more.  I need to focus on school work, and therapy.  Biology is going to be difficult, I know this.  I'll need ample time to study, and focusing mostly on that and my therapy will probably help make life better all around.  I've gotten away from turning the TV on in the morning for the kids, and directing them to things like legos, and blocks, and baby dolls.  The kids appreciate the time I spend with them, why waste my precious time with them on the TV and computer?

I think, in order for me to recover as fully as possible I need to immerse myself with life.  Time with people, with my children.  Time spent outside, with friends, moving my body and enjoying the sights and sounds around me.  I know my mom will read this and shake her head, because that's what she's been telling me all along.  However, as most of us know, you won't see what needs to be seen, or do what needs to be done until you're good and ready to.  So, mom, you were right.

I have a life that needs to be lived.
