Came back from my fellowship retreat this afternoon, read the news and napped for about an hour before going out for a run, my first run since the Umbrella Movement started on Sept. 28th.
I had been looking forward to the retreat, worked till near midnight for 3 consecutive nights before taking a day off to join the retreat on Friday. Finished off all my immediate work as I didn’t want to carry any “burden” into camp, it echoes this year’s retreat theme “Traveling Light(ly)”.
The retreat was a good break for me. It was a good time to do a little reflection, to think about life, family, love, and many things I think is important yet spent little time on. For the past month or so, I had been spending much of my time keeping up with the daily news (from both news media and FB feed). Much time seemed to have lavishly lost.
I deliberately not go on FB for the weekend, and it seems like a liberation. The anxiety of not keeping up with the newsfeed didn’t seem that strong, I may not be as addicted as I thought I was.
