Laters, Facebook

I gave up Facebook...gasp! Cold turkey too.. My goal was 2 weeks, I met my goal!!!! My plan was to reactivate today in time to receive loads of birthday wishes on Wednesday. So I happily logged back in, cleaned up my friends list and started back in with the usual Facebook stalking we all are guilty of and I wasn't even enjoying one single second of it. I felt like I was literally wasting my time... Hmmm... Imagine that. I sure miss sharing cute pics of my ever-so-adorable kidlets, and miss friends pics but not enough to keep me. In the past two weeks there hasn't been one second that I thought, hmmm I'd so much rather be Facebooking than playing with my kids, heck I even enjoyed cleaning house with no Facebook distractions trying to lure me in. More time in my day. My kids see me unplugged, and I no longer get the random acquaintance knowing all my business. How bout this, if you wanna know my business make an effort to be around, and I'll do the same. Trying to simplify, focus on the people directly in my life, focus on real friendships not cyber ones, more time for new friendships and stewardship and being open to what God wants me to do. Don't get me wrong, fb is great for connecting, sharing, building real friendships, but it can also do a lot of damage....a lot! I just don't even want that near me, I've had feelings hurt, hurt others, felt left out, left others out, status updates turned into more than they really are...how is that even remotely enjoyable? Sounds like high school... So bye-bye Facebook... Maybe one day we'll reunite, until then I'm going to soak up life around me!
