I’ve been so preoccupied with my online work lately that it came to a point, I didn’t have much time to relax and do other things.  In the past, being online is my way of relaxation, connecting with family and friends. But because of my online work load,I was so serious with my work and I didn’t do anything else, whenever I was online. There were times I would just have to ‘ignore’ my offline messages and emails from friends. I haven’t done my usual bloghop and haven’t read my friends’   and family’s blogs.

So last night, I took a break from my online work and spent some time surfing the net, reading the news, browsing through my friend’s photos in FB and etc.  It was then I was entertained, able to relax and enjoy my time in the net. There are just so many forms of entertainment in the net. I could remember those days when I was hooked with games like Text twist and Zuma. Those were the days before our kids were born so, we had all the time in the world to stay up late all night and play. Now, there are thousands of games available online. One of these sites is playsushi.com which has hundreds of fun games available.

As the saying goes, All Work and No Play makes Jack a Dull Boy.. that’s why it’s important to relax from time to time and take off from work.  If all we do is work, then we will become burnt out and everything else becomes dull and a burden. I just remembered my past posts about Stress and Managing stress. Indeed, there is a time for everything – at time to work and a time to play. We just need to balance our time and our life. Which also reminds me that God is the giver of both and we need to manage them well and be a good steward on these. As for me, I also need to learn a lot about that aspect in my life.
