This morning I woke up as usual, checked my mail but since I no longer have Facebook on my phone, it wasn’t to difficult to miss. <\/p>\n
I gotta say today I felt lost. Almost like I’m out of the loop. I don’t who had a good or bad day. I don’t know the latest gossip or political slaps. But at the same time I do know a few things.<\/p>\n
Let me tell you about the positives of day 1:<\/p>\n
1). Not rushed this morning
\n2). Didn’t illegally have my phone on the work floor.
\n3). Started talking to other people, having a live conversation at lunch and break.
\n4). Came home loaded, unloaded and made my dinner. (Lucky for me, no one else was home.)
\n5). Watched my tv shows with no interruptions.
\n6), Felt relaxed, not tense.
\n7). Had real conversation with my daughter and husband when they came home.
\n8). Proud of myself for making it the first day and not breaking down.<\/p>\n
I know it sounds silly, but it’s a true. In a recent devotional, it was pointed out our relationship with God is even pushed on the back burner because we fill our time with waste. Of course that’s not to say you can’t use social media or watch TV. It just means free up time from that which keeps you from building a relationship with the one who loves us more than we can ever understand.<\/p>\n
Ok, I’m not a holy roller, and this is just the first night. But it’s a step in the right direction and using my blog as a place to see where I stand, even if no else does.<\/p>\n
So I raise a toast to this day, and hope that each day gets better and easier. By the end of this Lenten season, I’m sure I will be amazed at home much time I have wasted on Facebook over the years. Of course I might not care either and want it all back!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
