A quick look through my past posts will clearly show anyone who is curious that I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. I even took about six months off from the social media giant last year (nobody noticed) after I realized I was becoming depressed when I didn’t get the attention I expected; that realization… Continue reading A Pet Peeve About Facebook
I successfully finished my Stickk.com Facebook challenge where I did not login to Facebook for 12 weeks. Truth be told, it wasn’t even a challenge because I had completed 10 weeks previously starting at the end of July. I got back on for about five days in October, and then was off of it for 12.… Continue reading An Olive Branch to Facebook Friends
The first text of my birthday came from a friend I’ve known since the 5th grade: “Happy birthday! You should change your Facebook privacy settings so people can wish you a happy day there, too!” What’s funny about this is that I am not on Facebook. I got back on for a brief stint in… Continue reading Birthday Wishes
In a moment of weakness on October 11th, after 10 1/2 weeks of being Facebook free, I logged into Facebook. Ugh. What a mistake. I looked around for evidence that something had changed and that it was different from when I left, but that wasn’t the case. There were people still arguing about trump (he’ll… Continue reading Facebook Free Fridays
“We want to be loved,’ ” quotes Britt-Marie. “ ‘Failing that, admired; failing that, feared; failing that, hated and despised. At all costs we want to stir up some sort of feeling in others. The soul abhors a vacuum. At all costs it longs for contact.’ ” ― Fredrik Backman, My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry Today… Continue reading 4 Weeks Facebook Free
Two weeks ago today, I gave up Facebook (again). It’s been easier this time and I really feel I will stick with the Facebook Diet Attempt #723. While I probably won’t lose any weight from this particular diet, what I have seemed to have gained over this short period is more happiness. What is different… Continue reading Facebook Diet: Gain Time & Happiness
Before you groan out loud, know that I am with you on the groaning at the thought of reading another’s gratitude journal. I hear you. I understand. I remember when the gratitude journal idea hit Facebook and people were writing the top 5 things they were grateful for on a daily basis. I seriously scrolled… Continue reading Gratitude Journal #1
A few months ago, while on a family vacation in Washington, DC, my mom sent a text and asked, “I thought you were in DC.” I replied that I was but I wasn’t posting pictures because my oldest daughter was staying in our house alone and I didn’t want to advertise that the majority of… Continue reading Why You Should Wait to Share Vacation Photos on Facebook
I’ve managed to keep these posts of lists going so there’s that, but I wanted you to know I am really writing real stuff, too. I entered a writing contest where I have to create a short story (1500 words or less) and submit it to a group where it will be critiqued (yeeikes!). I’m… Continue reading Top 5 for Friday, July 22, 2016
I have to go to a party tonight. As an introverted extrovert, this is an exceptionally hard thing for me to do. On one hand, the part of me who answers the Evite with an enthusiastic YES, I’LL BE THERE really means it at the time of the reply but the introvert regrets the decision… Continue reading As the Cul-De-Sac Turns
