Well, it's been a few days since my fast ended and I've been trying to digest what I have learned. It was not easy! What I mean by that is the rest of the world didn't stop because I was unplugged! It's really hard to ignore the TV when it's in the same room you are working in! My two older kids and I were the only ones in the house that participated in this assignment and we all chose to do it at different times, so that added to the fun as well.
I was amazed at the silence. It was quiet, especially at night when I usually turn off the TV and listen to my iPod. But overall, I didn't miss my iPod horribly. There are truly very few shows that I have to watch, I have a very short attention span and so it takes a lot for a show to keep my attention for any length of time. Besides, after a previous assignment ("the Evaluator", which I intend to share with you very soon) I had given up a few shows already. The thing that got me was the internet! Am I too nosey maybe? I have to check my e-mail, someone might have sent me something! Of course, 95% of my mail is junk that I delete before I read it! I tried to think of what I used to do before I had e-mail, can't remember! And in all honesty, I don't receive many e-mails that are so important that I need to deal with them immediately, they can usually wait a day or two for me to respond to them.
And honestly, I did not finish the 72 hours. I had "business" things I needed to get taken care of before I was finished, however, I came very close!
One thing I did notice, as my kids were doing it, I saw them all doing stuff together, even the ones not fasting. They were all sitting around together talking about stuff, that's pretty cool in my book.
