Now that it's gone...

Good grief...aren't we supposed to learn this lesson early? The extremely important that says you never really appreciate something until it's gone? And good grief...haven't I quoted that to so many people young and old? Haven't I flippantly used this expression in more conversations that I can count? I guess it's true that it's always easier to remind others rather than learn the lesson yourself. But, alas, I am finally having to repeat this to myself over and over. The interesting fact is that this is such a small, minute item that has vanished, yet now that it is gone I realize how much a part of my life it had become. So, this time without it...this time of drought...actually might be good for me.

I'm talking about internet. **GASP** I know! Who doesn't have internet in their home these days? Isn't it like TV or a phone? Oh my goodness...will I ever survive? Can I make it through? Yes. In fact I have made it for almost an entire month and I am still alive...I still have family...I still have friends...and for some reason I have found plenty of activities to occupy my time.

Interestingly enough...the one thing that I miss the most is blogging. **GASP** I know! My dad is thinking she doesn't blog anyway...how can she miss it? Well, you don't know what you've got until it's gone!

All of that to say that now I have an excuse for the lengthy spaces in between my blogs...but I think that once internet is restored to our home I may just have to make sure I take advantage of it...I may have to appreciate it more...I may actually have to sit down and blog. No promises...but we'll see. I do, however, promise to get some more pictures posted.

Blessings!
