I knew it was possible. If others could do it, why not me? It wasn’t as if we’d never separated before, but it
had always been when I was away from home. This time I determined to do it when the temptation was right there.
And I did it! Yes, I managed to stop myself from turning on my computer for fifty-five hours. It wasn’t easy – especially when I went into my office and saw it sitting innocently on my desk. It was as if it had a sign attached to it: OPEN ME.
I resisted all temptation. When I wasn’t at the supermarket or my daughter’s concert or cleaning or cooking, I sat in the garden and read.
It was lovely. I should do it more often.
You know what? Since we got back together I haven’t cursed my computer at all. Well… hardly.

Oooo I am very inspired by this post! And very tempted! It is just too easy to get online isn’t it? And before you know it aaarggh where did the time go? 55 hours huh? Wonder how long I could go? Thanks, Miriam for the motivation!
I bet you can’t beat me! 😉
You curse? Can’t believe it.
There’s a lot you don’t know about me!
