Okay....I admit it. Today I AM missing FB. I got a notification on my phone that my nephew in Taiwan posted on my timeline and there is only one reason for that....he is wishing me a Happy Birthday!! but I can't see it! I did NOT open up the notification so this is just a guess.
I was thinking the other day how there are lots of life's moments I will be missing by staying off FB. And I don't mean the selfish reason of seeing folks wishing me Happy Birthday. A friend's daughter is expecting and I think it may arrive before I go back on FB. There are other friends who will be having their birthdays that I will miss acknowledging (is that a word??) because I've come to depend on FB to remind me.
The BIGGEST reason I am missing FB today though is because I watched the final episode of Downton Abbey last night and I SO want to shout out to all my friends on FB who also watch it! If anyone out there is reading this AND watches Downton Abbey AND hasn't seen the last episode yet then I won't spoil it but I was VERY surprised!! Plus now I wonder if they are going to do a Season 4. Hey....there are worse things to be addicted to in this life!
BTW, Fr. James reminded us that Sundays do not count in Lent so.....this will be MORE than 40 days off FB! No, I will not look at it on Sundays!!
Just back from the dogwalk and there was a birthday greeting from a friend who is on Google+ !! Mad props (I THINK that's the expression!)j to Cindy Allers for remembering that I'm not seeing anything on that other site!
