Stuff I'm doing...

I've just about had it with "Facebook Friends". Periodically I go through my Friends list and weed people out. Last week I totally deactivated my account for a few days. It was so liberating! But I have a new rule. If I don't really know you and you like to write offensive things on my profile or post obnoxious statuses. I will just delete you. I'm so through debating these people on everything from rain to Obama and everything in between.

I mean it's MY profile right? My name is on it. I will post and for that matter VIEW what I damn well please. And these people I have on my friends list who have NEVER even once corresponded with me. They are going to go as well. Personally I don't feel validated by having a large number of friends on Facebook. And I'm also just not that nosey. If I don't care about you enough to talk to you I really don't want to see you on vacation or what little Sally is doing. I just don't care that much.

Now, please don't misunderstand me. Just because I delete you doesn't mean I feel any ill will towards you AT ALL. In fact, maybe if you sent me a nice message once in a while we could fall back in to Facebook Friends good graces. Until then....

Let's see what's next. Oh with a tip from my friend Jeannie I have started reading the book The Secret. So far it's pretty interesting. My interpretation of it is that you have to start thinking more positively and good things will happen. I have ALWAYS believed that. My whole life I've tried to think positive about people, jobs, relationships. Have any of you heard of it or read it?

I'll keep you updated on the book and what changes I may make as a result of reading it! I think weeding out negative forces on Facebook is one result!!

Easter is just a few days away, and I can't wait to celebrate with the Family. I hope you all have a great Easter!!

  2. Love this! Another good book to read that goes along with your thought process on FB is "Safe People". I still need to read it but I've listened to the author talking about the gist of the book and I have some friends who have read and it's something I need to do! I allow too many people to be everything in my life and I need to learn boundaries. I've made some positive changes in that aspect but it's still a journey...
