The Facebook Follow Up



Except for a few minutes of desperation and one really did need and want to let someone know I was thinking of them when they had a loss in their family, I Did It!!  I went a week without FB and lived!!!

Did I miss it....yes
Did I like it....yes
Will I continue on this fast....probably not

I have learned a few things about myself.  I am too nosey sometimes and I don't always like being in the know.  I can survive with only knowing the things that concern me. 

Facebook is still full of alot of negative energy, and that is not something I need in my life.  I am all for venting but the mean things said to and about others,  and the vague jabs at people are so not cool.  No longer do I plan to give these statuses a space in my mind.  I no longer care who those things are targeted at. 

As far as the comparisons topic.  It is still my issue whether or not I am on Facebook.  I still find ways to compare myself to others.  This is not the fault of Facebook but is definitely a means to feed this personal flaw.  I truly am happy for others and do not hold blessings against them.  I am very blessed myself and love to share those blessings with others. 

What started out as a rant ended up being a good life lesson.  I am no longer "fasting" but have decided to continue on a "diet" of limiting my facebook time. 

And btw....the Krabel's did and said a lot of funny things, too bad I couldn't post them last week :)

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...

On the Books for January 5, 2015

Today I am joining up with The Simple Woman to give you a peek into my daybook for this week...   Outside my window.... There is a light dusting of snow.  Nothing too intimidating...yet.   I am thinking... That a salad for lunch sounds good today.  I do not usually like salad so this is a little  weird. I am thankful... That I was able to spend quality time with my people the past week and a half.  I am wearing.... Work attire :( no more sweats until whenever I have to leave the house.   I am creating... I just purchased some new yarn over the weekend.  So I am getting ready to start a new scarf and some boot cuffs.   I am going... To Walmart on lunch.  Yep, back to normal this week.  I am wondering.... How many days until the next holiday :)  I am reading.... Just my devotional this week.  I am doing Jesus Calling again this year and maybe the Women of the Bible devotional as ...
