I'm done with you, Facebook

I deactivated my Facebook account today and feel such a huge relief. Interesting. As if a weight of ugliness has been lifted from my shoulders. Gotta listen to those "gut" instincts. Whenever I've ignored them it has always led to a mistake, be it large or small, in my life.

Once I figured out how to download all my photos that were not saved elsewhere due to computer crashes, viruses, or whatnot, that was it for me.  One of the main reasons I kept it open is because of old photos that weren't archived elsewhere.

I will miss keeping up with my family and friends' activities and their photos, but the people who know me already know how to reach me.  And if anyone needs my email address or phone # it shouldn't be that difficult to find me.  

I decided that this blog might be a good outlet for me to stay in touch and share photos along the way.  Not being on Facebook will allow me much more time to focus on my writing instead of getting bogged down in the time suck known as Facebook.  Plus it's been recently published that Yahoo, Google, Facebook and others have been monitored for several years.  Keep your noses out of my business, a-holes.

It's really the political stuff that did me in.  I just can't seem to keep my mouth shut when I believe in something.  I'm a passionate woman.  I've got strong opinions and I don't need anybody else trying to change my mind.  I am what I am - a conservative - and nothing anyone says is ever going to change that.

In conclusion, if you want to keep up with the goings on in my life and mind, check here if you feel like it ... or not.

Oh, and I think if you want to be notified when there is a new post you need to be a "Member" on this blog.
