Regarding facebook and whether I will go back to it (since I have been asked):
I am not counting down the days until I can look at facebook again. There are some groups that I miss, and those will probably be the things I look at first, but I have become so unaccustomed to checking it, I am not seeing myself doing it very often. I'm not actually online very often anymore at all. That can all change, it is quick to go back to old habits, but I actually hope that I don't go back to regular daily usage of it. I have thought about my friends list and that will likely get gleaned down again. It will be easier to do that since I know now who I miss and who has missed me and who I truly want to stay in that kind of touch with.
I have gained way too much during this 40 day time period to let it all go back to the way it was. I have truly been able to focus on what is in front of me, and realize how much more important that is in my life rather that what I left behind me.
My plan is to check into my groups maybe 2-3 times a week (these are more intimate and involve people/topics that are near and dear to me) but as for the general facebook, status updates and reading my feed, I just don't have the intention to make that a part of my daily routine. I will likely check in once a week, but I'm going to try to limit it to that. I think it will be easy. I hope it will be easy. I am not eager to change the new life I have adapted anytime soon.
Go You! You've really made HUGE strides. I've been watching you grow, and just in this short time, you've sprouted!
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of your dedication, and strength, now ... Can I borrow some? I'd like to quit smoking.
I'll text you here in a little bit, and maybe you can sneak a moment to talk, but if you can't... it's ok - I know we're friends, and friendships stay strong, even on the odd days that we don't chat.
HUGS - I'm so proud of you!
