How This Blog Came About

Three weeks ago my daughter gave me a challenge… To go off of Facebook for 1 month!  In December she decided to challenge herself to not go on Facebook for 1 month.  She surprised herself and loved it. She now only visits her account once a week.

I have gone over 3 weeks without going on Facebook and only have 5 more days left to live without Facebook.  I didn’t think I was on very much.  Maybe I was or maybe my mood was affected and slowed down my motivation.  I now have more creativity. I have accomplished more than I usually do.  I have discovered how I can enjoy and use Pinterest.  I even opened a Tumblr account.  I even backed up my computer and organized files.  Then I discovered posts that I was working on for another blog that I created.  It has been three years since I was in it and now I can’t remember how to open it. 

I noticed that I feel lonely on Facebook.  I have a lot of friends, but life is busy and society has become less social in person.  People get together just to be on their phones next to each other.  I have a friend who lives a mile away and I haven’t seen her in years, except on Facebook.  I had a friend from out of state who was visiting her mother for a month who lives a quarter of a mile away, but ignored my invitation to get together.  These individuals were people who I considered close friends in my past. What happened to people talking on the phone?

On the other hand, I have two friends who live 2 and 3 hours away from me who feel the same way about their friends on Facebook. One friend lives 2 hours away and I have seen her 6 to 8 times in the last 2 years. 

This blog is for whatever I feel like talking about. I have the freedom to share anything from gardening, parenting, crafts, cooking or even my faith.  Good-bye writer's block!
