Facebook Detox pt 1

Well, I survived the first 24 hours of not being on FB.  I have always heard, and experienced, that the first few days of quitting something are the hardest.  I'm not sure if this was hard or easy for me.  I think I met the challenge somewhere in the middle. 

I certainly did find myself with a lot more time on my hands.  I didn't sit at the computer for 2 hours first thing in the morning, which was good.  I have not found a routine to replace it with yet, but I kept busy.  It was just nice to simply sit on the porch for awhile, enjoy my coffee and just be one with the world around me, not constantly looking down at my phone for updates.  I really liked that aspect of it.

Then, however, there were times when I thought "I should post that on FB."  That is a feeling that will go away slowly, I imagine.  But, I overcame the urges and the feeling passed.  I realized that my world will not change for the better whether or not a post whatever it was to begin with.

And, I have had some time to think about how I deal with things.  Michael and I had a good, long talk about lots of things and I now have a pretty good foundation with which to build upon.  I have some definite ideas concerning life and we have made some plans and goals for me, which is good. 

Overall, so far so good.
