I know, I said I’d go a whole week without Facebook.
But I couldn’t do it! 3 days was all I could stand.

It’s pathetic how much I missed it. I’m almost ashamed of how much I missed it. I have to face the reality that I am a Facebook addict and should receive treatment as quickly as possible. And to think I’ve only been indulging in this evil, time-sucking virtual community since… maybe mid-May of this year.

When I broke my Facebook Fast this morning, it felt so good! I got to see the new video my nephew posted about a project he’s working on for Autodesk. Well, now, come on! He’s my nephew and I wouldn’t have known a thing about this project if I hadn’t seen his video posted on Facebook.

I read Jason’s new poem. Which told me so much about what’s going on with him.

Facebook is becoming the way I connect with people in my life. And while that scares me a little, I’m grateful for it. Very grateful. Because I can complain about the fact that life is moving too fast and we’re all so busy that we never have time to just talk on the phone or actually meet face to face (I can’t remember the last time I saw my nephew in the flesh), or I can just appreciate this fun, easy and virtual way to stay in the loop with people I care about. And people I’m starting to get to know.

And yes, it’s good for business. I’ve made some good business connections on Facebook that I probably wouldn’t have made otherwise. Like wise-guy Lou Bortone.

So, my fast is over, baby! And I’m digging in!
