Ahh Facebook. I have decided to let go of the obsession for this week of spring break. Yes, I have been on it a time or two just to check my email, because that's the only way my sister sends her info about bridesmaid dresses/wedding stuff. So I had to get on mine for that reason, but I have to say I didn't look at anything else on the life sucking social network. I'm sure I will get pulled right back in when the time is up. Even after the time I allotted myself is up, I'm hoping to stay off it more. 
I am so free to do other things that actually help me in life. Today, I actually spoke on the phone with my sister instead of endless messages and posts. I haven't a clue what's going on with people, but I just love it to pieces. I spent hours on my guitar in place of the endless hours on the couch, face locked into the computer. I've read some really great blogs and articles that have brought encouragement and understanding:) and spent a wonderful time with God. My day was fun filled, eventful, and productive I feel. I got to take part in great conversations with REAL people, face to face like the old days haha.
 I'm liking this, no Facebook thing! I have to admit, it is hard not seeing pictures of people and events ( I did look at some beach day pics from Jennie Penny's computer) or wanting to see if anyone has written on my wall and keeping up with people I haven't talked to in years. But it has been good.
I don't look down at people on Facebook, and I'm not trying to sound negative about it, I'm just finding it freeing to disconnect.
