Goals

So 2 weeks ago today I made a huge decision for me.....I decided to completely stop Facebook for an entire week. There were a lot of things that went into my decision...but I guess I finally realized how much it was actually taking away from my real relationships. Don't get me wrong...I like the idea of Facebook...of catching up with people from long time ago, keeping in touch & meeting new people, & it's great to stay updated with Moms from school & church. I love that part of it. What I realized though was how much time I actually spent wasting valuable time. I swear I could spend hours on there & not even know what I did, and the checking of Facebook during the day was also getting out of hand.

So...I stopped Facebook completely for an entire week & didn't miss it one little bit. I found myself spending more time with the kids, going on walks, doing home projects, etc. And at night I had more quality time with my hubby, instead of spending hours holed up on my laptop. So a couple days ago was the first time I got back on facebook. And I only was on for 5 minutes. I think I will make a new plan for myself...maybe set a time limit of 10 minutes a couple times a week. I have to think about that one yet. That doesn't mean that I will never post updates or pictures or contact people through Facebook...but it does mean that I am putting it on the back burner & instead putting my energy into my family & friendships.
