Never Be Jealous Over Someones Overuse of the Net
Working, job search, cleaning, interviews and so much to do,
When does one have time to claim leisure just for you,
Then jealousy clicks in, why do others have so much time?
Then the truth filters in that that their lives became sublime.
They might have leisure time but their homes are in some mess,
They do not go out that often, spend time with friends less and less,
Limited time outdoors for health, exercise or even some clean air,
Just surfing the net, twitter, facebook and blogging without a care.
So, I let my jealousy go of limited internet fun time for me,
Because my home is clean, I am productive for many others to see,
My kids are out every single day on an outing or fun type of trip,
My life moves forward instead of what I call "the internet life skip"!
**just got over an addiction about four months ago myself,
my house is spotless, I am outdoors daily, and much more productive,
but can admit I miss the time writing...God is great, he cleaned me up
he does not want me internet slothing...at first I thought why God? Why
can I not do what I enjoy? But the house was beginning to crumble,
and it was not healthy
God loves you when he wants you to have a productive, fulfilling,
and healthy life off the internet, not the other way around
