I realized I was thinking "Well, vegging in front of Facebook for hours is a break, so that's self-care right?" Wrong! Because while, yes, it was a break from work and everything else, it wasn't feeding my spirit in any way, shape or form. <br /><br />I'm going through a purge of the stuff we have too! Getting rid of it is SO liberating!

It's worth a read. :)<br /><br />http://roguepriest.net/2013/07/17/how-to-use-twitter/Dannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07686692876719223611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198853951847315100.post-56315948045288486792013-10-21T12:01:08.281-04:002013-10-21T12:01:08.281-04:00Hmm.

Not sure I can teach you to like it, Mags, it definitely takes some getting used to. <br /><br />For my part, I like it because it's fairly drama/meme free. Due to the concise nature of micro-blogging, people typically put more thought in to what they say and how they say it. So, in my feed anyway, the people who post are typically more witty and to the point than on Facebook. <br /><br />Also, no one seems to get offended or angry if you don't follow them on twitter. And there's no obligation to follow back. So I can follow only people whose words really move or interest me without anyone being offended.

I am glad you are keeping your blog so I have at least one place I can touch bases with you. <br /><br />The older I get the more I realize how hard self care is... and then the difference between self care and distraction-- NOT THE SAME... as you found out!<br /><br />A couple of years ago,I got rid of 60% of our stuff... which was a feat in itself. By the time I got done, I hated all those things and starting looking to see what else can go!<br /><br />Life can creep up on us like a frog in warm water on the stove... it's boiling and we don't realize it until something happens to take us out of there for but a moment.<br /><br />Thanks for your words today...<br /><br />MarioCoach Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14718019586366516096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198853951847315100.post-61891921017438048762013-10-18T11:07:42.323-04:002013-10-18T11:07:42.323-04:00Everybody needs a break.

Toxicity in one's life can creep up on a person. Causing much pain and suffering. I wish you all the best in cleansing and clearing in your Life! It may take a bit and it may be nasty but you will be happier for it!
