Today I deleted all my ‘non’ essential apps from Facebook.  By non essential I mean the apps that don’t involve any thought whatsoever.  The ones that you just click the button like Mafia Wars.  The ones that you just buy and sell stuff, like Farmville and Yoville.  I kept Lexulous because my favorite girl cousins regularly wipe the floor with me while playing.  I also held onto my Event app, WeRead and stuff like pictures and notes.

Facebook has become a huge time sink for me.  And I’ve been trying really hard to have more balance in my life.  Slowly weeding things out that don’t enrich me and adding back things I’ve backed away from for one reason or another.

Next month I’ll be blogging about the new Wayne Thomas Batson/Christopher Hopper book Curse of the Spider King: The Berinfell Prophecies Series with the CSFF.   It’s YA and I don’t read much YA anymore but I do believe in supporting the genre of Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy.  Thinking about it, it’s been more than a year since I’ve blogged about a book.  I’ve continued reading.  Man have I continued reading!  But no reviews or blogging.  Wow!

Also planning on a return to writing. It is something I’ve been missing deeply and I am kind of surprised that it took me so long to figure out that was something that was missing.  There was a novel I was working on well over a year ago and the the story keeps nagging at me, nagging at me.  This is the longest something has ever stayed with me so I’m thinking I should stop ignoring it.  LOL

Off I go now, to get ready to go walking with a friend.  That’s something I’m adding back in too.  Spending time with friends.  Something I’m starting….exercise.  Ick!
