Hello, blog world. I took a two week hiatus from blogging and have missed being here in this space. I traveled to Denver, CO to spend a week with family. It was SO good. My 4 year old nephew hadn't seen me since he was like 2yrs old and was obsessed with holding my hand. He kept calling my hands "skinny teddy bear hands". How incredibly sweet!! My 9 yr old niece got a little jealous but we took her for ice cream and spoiled her plenty. After a year of zooming with them it was almost hard to believe we were in person. My niece showed me all of the drawings that she did during our zoom art lessons this past year. My spouse is an artist so he would do these step by step art instructions and I held the camera! How amazing it was to see the actual drawings in person that we had spent many Saturdays constructing together over zoom.
I know that some classmates did the digital detox earlier in the semester. My week in Denver was my digital detox! I totally disconnected from work and school. My house cameras that I use to watch my cats were even disconnected by mistake!! My amazing neighbor helped to get those back online so I could creep on my cats while away, but, in general it was a digital detox that was much needed. I have learned SO MUCH in this class but it's helpful to pull the plug at times to recharge. As we head into the final couple of weeks, I am excited to work on my produsage and PLN projects. I have lots of ideas!
I also wanted to let you all know that my knowledge sharing activity is still getting action on LinkedIn...and...I inspected the bees tonight and queen Beyonce is doing amazing!!
Excited to be back.
Glad to hear from you Emily. What a wonderful trip! We had our honeymoon in Vail and love Denver and the mountains. So glad your KSA is still going well. We were having a discussion at work about how boredom feeds creativity. I think the detox helps with this. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Emily! I took a break as well, but it sounds like you had much more fun during yours! Sporadic digital detoxes are important to maintain out sanity I think! This has definitely been a course that has taught us so much, both conceptually and practically, but I think that late-semester malaise is kicking in. I can't wait to hear what you've decided to do for your produsage assignment, good luck!
