Back on the Grid Again!

I’M BACK!!

Yes folks, the grand nightmare of not having home internet is finally over.

Why was it so horrific, you wonder, since I still managed to post once in a while and get some e-mailing done? Let me see if I can explain.

• While I could check and respond to e-mail on my phone, I still only have basic service and I don’t have a fancy phone. This means that deleting and organizing my e-mails is a pain in the butt, and uses up precious data minutes.  Without the ability to check my e-mail thousands of times a day every morning, I would end up with over a hundred  e-mails to clear out every time I went to my coffee shop offices to work.
• While working in bookstores, coffee shops and libraries serves some purpose, it also means spending money (except for the library, of course) because I feel guilty if I stay there too long without at least buying one drink.
• I also felt time pressure in some ways, because I don’t want to spend the whole day in a coffee shop, so I had to prioritize my work. I guess that is a good thing, but it meant reading other blogs for pleasure and responding to comments moved down the list. Time became my enemy, when right now time should be my friend because I have time to figure out where I am heading
• I couldn’t look up anything spontaneously, directions or pictures, information or questions all had to wait until I had access which meant I either forgot them, or my to do list got longer.

Anyway, I am back and hopefully I will be inspired to write interesting posts again soon.  For now, I leave you with a quote that I found inspirational today and a picture created by Sarah:

“‎The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a
person’s determination.”
