You May Unplug

United States
August 7, 2019 7:22pm CST
That was the advice given from a news feed on my cell phone just this morning. With all of the terrible news that has been going on, and the fact that we are only half way through the week, the writer on the news report encouraged or at least suggested that we take the time to unplug. I thought that was a good suggestion. Not that I would bury my head in the sand and deny all of the bad that is going on in the world but sometimes it is a very good idea to de-stress, unwind or unplug as they say. How do you unplug?

Now that's a good and healthy distraction. If you get to do that, I hope you all have a wonderful time.

I unplugged from Facebook for most of the weekend and surprisingly I didn't miss it at all! I also think it is good to unplug frequently just to focus on yourself and your family.

@betlynfrnds Yes, but some would not even realize it, sadly to say.

That's a nice getaway. I like doing those things myself; especially when the walks are quiet and peaceful and the movies are relaxing and low key.

I pray and read the Bible, play music (as in play on the piano or flute, not listen to) and go for bike rides.

Wow, I must say that your way of unplugging is very close to mine. I also do everything that you mentioned.

@betlynfrnds There are times the news here in Israel is just too much so take a break from it. Most of the time I want to know what is going on here.

Getting away from all the stress of it all, even for a little while is a very good idea. I hope you have a great day.

I like to chat with my friends here, on another site or on Facebook. I love making new online friends from around the world.

That's always a good option. We can learn quite a bit from those we connect with.
