Is There Life Without Facebook?

Today is the first day of Life without Facebook. I decided to take the summer off in an attempt to
stop procrastinating. There are a lot of things that I want to do...need to do...and every moment I spend "surfing" around on FB is really time I could be using in a better way.
That being said, I already miss my friends!
I have reconnected with friends from High School, Jr. High School and even folks from my adult life that I hadn't seen for a long time.
It is a ray of sunshine to get a comment on my status from people whose last names are different from when we knew each other 30 years ago, but the faces are still the same.
It is fun to hear what's going on in people's lives and know that struggles are universal and ultimately, surmountable.
There is another side for me...I am nosey. It is that bit of my personality that I struggle with that is not easy to overcome. I know that by denying myself the information, I'll be able to focus on all the great things in my life and come back to the Social Network refreshed and with inspiration to share.
So check in with me here if you're interested. I have made a personal commitment to posting and keeping this blog current.
I will try to be more engaged in the everyday, so my stories might be a bit funnier.
I'll still have quotes from people I admire, bits of inspiration that I wish to share.
I'll still share all the magic that Rosey brings to me everyday.
I'll still be here.
