Wow - I didn't realize how long it had been since I've posted anything on here.
I'd like to say I've been doing something really important, but I haven't been.
I've been sucked into the world of on-line socializing called Facebook.
Now, it has been a good thing in that I have reconnected with my best friends from high school. And not just on-line. We have gone out for breakfast and dinner, and have a lunch planned for two weeks. So it's not just been on on-line connection.
I've also reconnected with my estranged fathers family: my cousins, and aunts. That is important to me so it is another good thing that has come from Facebook.
I have also been a Mom in my time away. Volunteering at the kids school, doing softball and baseball practices and games, a few short vacations to our beach house and having fun with them over the summer. Now we are onto field hockey and football practices and games. I DO consider this very important.
But the whole Facebook "addiction" needs to stop. I've realized it is consuming too much time. Time away from my kids, family, and true friends. Friends who I enjoy spending time with. Friends who truly care about what I've been doing. Friends who are worth my time in seeing face to face - not facebook to facebook.
I've also realized that I cannot say a lot of what I want or need to say on Facebook. It is a very open forum which everyone I am friends with, and their friends, and so on and so on can see. A little too open.
So, I am back. Back to posting my thoughts, hopes, dreams, fears, and frustrations here. Where I have a certain degree of anonymity.
So, you'll be hearing regularly from me now. Maybe not everyday, but on a regular basis.
Til next time, I'll still be....
Being Brenda
