Starting something new...

So ~ I'm taking a Facebook hiatus. Perhaps indefinately. Facebook has become so over-populated with junk and spam that I don't really enjoy it anymore. As with any useful tool, I think society has become dependent on our status updates and we have traded approval from our families for approval from our 'friends'. Plus, I wanted something that was mine alone; mine to create, mold and tweak in hopes that my stories and posts will help me with streamlining my thought processes and perhaps making someone smile. Plus, my husband doesn't have a blog ~ so I can honestly vent when I need to. I have reservations about airing dirty laundry on Facebook, because we may all refer to them as friends, but come on, there are so many people watching JUST to see you fall. So for all the rest of you ~ true, sincere and faithful family and friends ~ this is for you.

Over the last couple of years, I've had many people tell me that my posts make them smile. Or they love hearing me tell of my family~ and whatever 'crisis' we may be having at the time. I have this God given talent of being able to laugh at myself INSTEAD of others. And lets face it, if you have children and actually take the time to try to listen and understand them, well its usually pretty funny. So I will open my life to you, I'll share my successes, limit my misfortune and hopefully help someone else to appreciate what they have as well along the way. I have been very blessed with this life and I believe that whatever God gives me I have to share. Whether it be money, food, laughter or tears, what's mine is yours and I give freely to each of you. You'll be satisfied, I guarantee. Or your money back :) Have a great day everyone, and remember that YOU can choose happiness. No matter what.
