Life without the Book…

It would seem that my second day staying away from FB has been more difficult than the first.   Lots of those minutes of today would have been filled with scrolling on the FB news feed or posting pictures of this and that.  But it hasn’t gotten to the point where I’ve really seriously considered going back.

Last night I saw a pictures of a really awesome gas pump and instead of posting it on FB, posted it here instead.  This was a test of sorts to make sure I could indeed post pictures that I’ve taken.  I actually used the WP (WordPress) app share that picture and it’s a lot easier to do than it is with FB.

So what have I done with those minutes? A.)  I cleaned up around the house for starters,,,no, it’s still not done, but I put a big dent in it.  B.) I went to a meeting of like-minded friends and stayed afterward to talk  C.)  I went to one of my favorite haunts for lunch and saw a friend I hadn’t seen in quite a while.  D.)  I watched about an hour of television…I admittedly am not a big fan of the tube, but did find some interesting shows to watch   E.)  I took a short nap…lol  F.)  I had an appointment with my ortho doctor,,, a return visit in six weeks

Not that I wouldn’t have done any of these things if I still was a part of FB world, but I paid more attention to what was transpiring as the day went on.  I’ve also started reading more and indeed, have started reading a good devotional book that has taught or retaught me two important lessons:  A.)  The trials in our lives shouldn’t be complete surprises….they help to build our faith and make us stronger emotionally   B.)   It’s a good idea to start out one’s day with talking to God in devotion and/or prayer….I’ll have to really remember this one tomorrow morning…I’m subbing for a teacher whose class is going on a field trip…oh my!!!

All in all a pretty good second day…and there are still over seven hours left to go.
