Time

I am amazed how time flies by. Where does it go? Can I add hours to a day?  I perplexed with the fact 25 years ago I had two small children and I found time for everything I needed to do. I made clothing for the girls. I would crochet them sweater. I had a garden and attended church without ever feeling like it took my Sunday up. I worked and still found time to can my own vegetables and read to my children.

What is different? I asked myself. What is different is I now have Television, Internet and a telephone. I must be spending too much time wasting time.  So, I have a goal. I think I am going to cut the T.V. time out and start doing things that I like to do. I really want to start exercising and I think I can do that if I just turn off the TV for an hour. I can do that. My friends at T.O.P.S. have challenged me to make the change.

I ask myself can I give up the internet. This is my real time waster. But, am I really wasting time if I am reading and researching papers.  I think I need to be a little more honest with myself and start skipping Facebook.  I want to learn about great ways to communicate with students in the classroom using Google docs, Kidblog.com and Edmodo.com.  I am challenging myself to use the internet for educational purposes only.

The telephone really isn't an issue for me these days. I have a flip cell phone. No internet serves to worry about there. My children are working during the day and so are most of my friends. I think I will start to direct my time saving strategies for the internet and T.V.

So, I think I may have found some additional time to work on my writing skills.  Will there ever be enough time in a day to do all I want. I doubt it, but I sure am going to try and make it happen.

I know my post are not always quality. I am still just trying to make myself write.
