The social media sites are too overwhelming for me to have that kind of stimulation all the time. So I get why you left. <br />You will feel more at peace as time goes by and as for all your friends just cause you leave facebook doesn't mean you'll loose touch. You'll figure out more meaningful ways to stay connected. <br /><br />Good luck and enjoy all that extra time.<br /><br />BridgemorAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-38812671631608922392011-09-28T15:22:42.908-05:002011-09-28T15:22:42.908-05:00I totally get this... barely any time to read any ...I totally get this... barely any time to read any blogs lately, much less anything else!

I am trying to not spend all my time there for sure. <br />Hey, I was driving up I65 today and saw two exits with the sign to "Crown Point"--oh, it made my heart jump! I wanted to pull over and look for you. Ha. <br />I went to visit my High School friend you know where, then came over to Goshen to my parents. So I sit here with them. Will plan to go home tomorrow. <br /><br />Next time I decide to head up I will try to connect with you. <br /><br />I was totally amazed at all of those windmills on I65. wow, that is an awesome sight for sure!!! <br /><br />((hugs))Marihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297424745531114629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-56075864845911282342011-09-26T19:25:21.890-05:002011-09-26T19:25:21.890-05:00My first visit to your blog.

Even then, I tend to feel the need to keep checking to see if any of the family have made a posting. Also the same with emails, checking frequently. It is a tiresome habit, and it is nice to know someone else finds it the same.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220470666707560125.post-83591453173787534702011-09-25T22:54:10.587-05:002011-09-25T22:54:10.587-05:00Oh, I'm bu-hind again...

I've been on FB for a while but I'm famous for long periods of "deactivation" - I found this worked best for me as I knew I could come back to it (if I wanted) but if I didn't, it would remain until the point came that I did want to return. I don't miss it when I'm gone. The friendships we "hold" onto via the internet aren't always true or healthy so if anything it's nice to step away and have social reality check - the ones you want close will call you, etc. I commend you - it can be hard to pull away from such a guilty pleasure but the productivity that comes from not devoting so much time to something "meaningless" will be priceless :)simplysouthernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090615410743867145noreply@blogger.com
