Well, everyone, I did it.  40 Days (not including Sundays) without Facebook or Instagram.  And you know what?  I'M STILL ALIVE.  Yep. It's a small miracle.  But really now.  It was hardest the first week.  I didn't realize how checking social media on my phone had become a habit.  How sad is that?  A HABIT. Dictionary.com defines habit as: to dwell.  Let's just all take a moment to think about that.  To dwell.  I was dwelling in social media.  *shudder* This whole experience has taught me that it's more important to "dwell" in the here and now.

 

I mean, look at these two.  They are my here and now.  Brennen calls Tanner his "best little buddy" and last night said "why didn't I do this sooner?" Life is hard sometimes. And it's easy to get caught up in other people's lives and try to escape your own.  But you can't. It's better to face your trials head on, with those that mean the most to you at your side.  No, that doesn't mean your Facebook app in your pocket.  Time to start living for the here and now, and those that matter most.
