In past years, I’ve taken a leave of absence from social media during the season of Lent. In looking at this year’s calendar, I hadn’t realized the Lenten season starts on Valentines Day. Given the fact it was already February 9th, I had to decide if indeed I would be absent from all social media for the Lenten season 2024
I am not exactly sure how many years I’ve “done without” something for the season of Lent, but I do know for at least four of those years, I’ve taken a sabbatical from all social media. 2024 will be no different. I have decided to forego all social media for Lenten season, which begins on Valentines Day, February 14th, and lasts through Easter Sunday, March 30th.
So between now and then, I’ll make the usual preparations for that time away. As in years past, I’ll leave links to the two posts that I’ve done each and every day for the past eight years. The link will take readers to the website that I use as the source. It will take an extra click or two, but if the readers really want to see what’s shared, I figure they’ll be willing to do that.
I’ll also be deleting the apps for social media from my phone. By my cell phone carrier’s usage records, I estimate I spend nearly twenty-four hours a week,,,that’s collectively one whole day, on social media sites. So yes, this will leave quite a gap of time, but I feel at this point in my life, it’s the thing to do.
