And then there's Facebook...
When I started blogging in 2005 or 2006, I made many friends and enjoyed reading their blogs and commenting on a regular basis. Then we all migrated to Facebook, and most of us let our blogs go. We reduced our thoughts and experiences to a sentence (or two, or three) - the Cliff Notes version of our lives.
For me, Facebook became a huge time sucker upper. While I love keeping in touch with my friends and family there, I just spend too much time doing so. A few weeks ago I decided that I'd get off Facebook for the summer, and use my blog and Instagram to share our summer adventures instead. Last night I deactivated my account.
So here I am! I am working with Faith to freshen up the blog. I can't wait to see what she designs for me.
I'm going to miss my Facebook buddies, and I hope they will find me here and check in (and comment!). Maybe I'll make some new friends as well.
So here's to a Facebook-free summer!
Just wrote a long comment but my iPhone lost it. Dang. So I'll keep it short and just say hi. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Donna! Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteEnjoy your Facebook-free summer! It IS a major time sucker-upper. I like how you said that, and I'm looking fwd to more blogging! But most of all have a summer to remember with Michaela. She's growing up so fast!
