Why yes it is!!!
And what do my boys want to do? They want to go to the WARF and swim. Inside. These nuts! I brought them for a while, then we moved on to the playground. How refreshing to be outside and WARM at the beginning of January.
This month is my Facebook fast. It's hard. Beyond hard. I have a cousin due any moment with her first baby that I'd love to hear about. Another friend is having her big ultrasound in just a few days. And I won't see that info for SO long if we don't email or call each other. But it's ok. It's time to break that habit. Our office is next to the kitchen, and completely open, so it's easy to just "take a peek" a few times here and there. The problem comes though, when peeking turns into 15 minutes. A few times in the morning, and again in the afternoon. When I should be starting dinner. When the kids really need to be steered to a new activity. So, I decided to cut it out completely and break the habit cold turkey. My guess is though, at the end of this month, I won't have missed much. I may find myself wondering why I was so into Facebook to begin with and walk away. Sometimes I wonder if I have any messages or notifications, has anyone even noticed that I'm not on there? The strong likelihood is no, there won't be, and no, no one has. And that's ok. The people I am closest too already know that I'm off for the month, and others know how to find me if they really want to talk. It's been nice to just text or call people and even to go back to the antique communication method of email. I have a lot of time on my hands now too. I think things might get accomplished much quicker this month!!
Off to enjoy that warm weather now...can't waste it here blogging!!
It's been over a year since I've been off FB and I have to tell you, it was the best thing I did for myself and my family. I thought I'd have DT's or something at first because I was such an addict--my desk is practically IN my dining room/living room, which is the main part of the house. So easy to just sit down with it and browse! I don't miss the drama, I don't miss anything about it. I thought I would lose touch with reality, lose touch with friends, but I've been able to keep in touch with those who really matter better, because I'm not on FB anymore. It's a good gift to give yourself! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that someone read my blog! hahahaha....without sharing it on fb, I'm pretty sure no one else will know it exists. That's ok. It's just my sounding board for now.
ReplyDeleteI told Aaron I could probably log back in now and be ok, but I'm going to stick it out a bit longer.
