Okay it has now been two whole days since I dropped my FB addiction. A beautiful snowy President's Day. We woke up to 6 inches of powdery fluff which has covered over the ugliness and mud which was exposed after the melt of the last huge storm. A season of being house bound - ice and snow - Vitamin D deficiency - the month of my birth - Seasonal Affective Disorder. Why would I choose to purposely cut myself off from friends and family - some as far away as Moscow - at this gloomy, lonely time of year? I don't completely know....maybe that is why this blog. Because you could say, "What a hypocrite. You dropped FB just to take up blogging?" That's it exactly - except not really - I did not go on the computer but once yesterday and I spent the entire day out of doors skiing. On Sat when I officially "de-activiated" my account and they make you do all the security checks to do so (also reminding you that you can re-activate at any time and pick up where you left off) - I admit to being drawn to the computer and logging on several times - but that magic FB portal was no longer there and I could not enter! My time on the computer was shorter more limited - the compulsion less strong - the need to see my sister-in-law's posts (tho I love hear dearly) about her cooking all gone!
I spent a good part of the day cleaning up and putting away supplies in my basement studio which I am reclaiming after 5 years - and I sat playing with things not really with any direction or thought.
