Well, I do love my facebook but I have realized that really all it does is waste time. Yes, I have seen many people up there that I haven't spoken to in awhile but no one that I really need to talk to and no one that really talks to me much now anyway. Then there are old friends that I like to believe are my best best besties still because they were from way back but really that is not true either. I mean, the past is the past....time to move on. I go out of my way to interact with people only for it to not work out. I mean, I set up lunches and make calls but the fact is...we are busy....they are busy....everyone has their new life now and that includes me. I mean, I do have many many friends that I talk to regularly but these people actually use the phone. Even better....many of them I see face to face. I don't NEED facebook to continue a relationship with them. If I need facebook to have a relationship with you then chances are I don't really NEED a relationship with you to start with. Of course, I will miss the updates about the church and the youth group my daughter is in and the couponing advice I get (and never use might I add). But...guess what, I can get ALL the church and youth info I need when I am actually at church. I am there AT LEAST once a week. I will walk up to people and actually talk to them....there's an idea that it seems people have lost touch with. So, 2012 I am NOT using facebook at all. If the year ends and I have managed to live without facebook then I am just going to permanently delete my account. So, we will see where this new adventure will take me. Yes, it is an adventure. I will actually have to see people to know what the look like and call them in order to know what is going on. And....it wouldn't hurt if people picked up the phone and called me every now and then (just sayin....LOL).
There are also other screens in my house that I will be limiting. I mean, really....do I really need to watch TV every single day? I don't think so. I have books...most importantly ....God's Word. And how often do we sit around brain dead staring at a screen when God just would LOVE to hear our voice....and even more....would love to speak to us through His Word. How much do you think you could read in the time it takes to watch a 30 mintue show....a 1 hour show.....a two hour movie? Now, I am not saying I will never watch TV....just limit my screen time so I can expand my God time :)
Everyone has things they do when we all know we should be doing something else. That is what I am going to do this year! I am going to stop procrastinating....limit my screen time and do things like spend time with God and my family!
Be blessed,
~Dawn~
