Gotcha!
Now that I have your attention, I admit, I've checked my Facebook Feed.
I'll admit that I've thought about posting on this Blog many more times over the past month, but I've been LAZY.
Too lazy to get my thoughts together in a way that is suitable for sharing.
BTW...I only put Matt Lauer's name in the "labels" because I'm mad at him for not being on the Plaza at Studio 1A on July 7th. I had a date with him (in my mind), but he was conspicuously absent.
I've missed Facebook because of the long distance connections with people whom I don't see everyday.
I don't miss much else.
I love self examination, and my hiatus has given me time for that.
I know myself well enough to know that Facebook feeds a desire that I have to know what's going on with people who might fascinate me for all the wrong reasons. I peer around to see how dirty some people's laundry can get, and how much they're willing to "share".
I have broken the habit of checking FB everytime I get on my computer, or every few hours on my phone.
I plan to maintain this hiatus for another month and then I'll re-evaluate my "connections".
We only get so many summers in our lives and I've tried really hard to enjoy this one.
Now it's back to "work" at the Theatre, as Footloose rehearsals began last night.
I'm looking forward to filling my days and nights with new adventures and I'll be posting some details about those endeavors soon.
For today, I will be thinking of all the ways that I impact the lives of my family and others who care about me by my attitude and my words and actions. It is a heavy responsibility to have so many eyes on me, reading my mood and navigating around my perceived projections that are really not about anyone but myself. I'm thinking a lot lately about "atmosphere" and what kind of energy I create.
Are you bored yet? I thought so.
