A New Day

I'm a Sabbath-observing christian so I haven't been on the computer since sunset on Friday. Because this is a regular part of my life's routine, it was not foreign at all for me to go over 24 hours without checking on facebook or without being on the computer at all. I didn't think about it because my time was filled with other, more meaningful and uplifting activities. In some ways, I feel like that's what facebook is to me: a time-filling voyeuristic medium. It's not all bad...but I'd be lying if I said that the time I spend on facebook is all good. When last I wrote I was contemplating to what extent I relied upon facebook to communicate with others and whether that level of dependency was to my benefit or my demise. While I still don't have an answer, I feel better about analyzing the situation and attempting to put media in my life in the proper perspective. I'm learning...that's always good.

That's all (for now) folks.

Be Well.
