I’m grateful I got back on Facebook after more than two years of being off of it…or at least I think I am. So far I’m sticking to my personal goal of spending no more than 15 minutes a day on it, which is something else I’m grateful for. At first, I thought I’d allow myself 30 minutes a day, but I calculated it over a year’s time and that came out to be more than 7 whole days! That’s a lot of time I could spend on something else.
By now, I know ‘me’, and my inclination towards overdoing anything that makes me feel good, getting likes and comments included. But this is a relatively new observation; it wasn’t until I got into recovery that I was even aware of that part of me.
It’s true: What you don’t know, you don’t know.
But once you DO know the truth, what then? Either make changes for the better—or not. There will be consequences, either way.
My motives for getting back on Facebook were to connect with friends and post these gratitude blogs, which are way different than those on Midwest Gypsy… those are more of the “where we are, what we’ve done” variety. The blogs on Gratitude365 are written almost daily and often about current events. That alone makes me vulnerable, and that’s scary. But there’s a trendy saying nowadays, something about no longer giving any F’s, and I suppose that’s where I am about a lot of things. I’m willing to put myself out there. We’ll see what happens.
Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another. ~Proverbs 27:17
