These holidays and kids home from school keep me away from social media, except for short spurts here and there. And I’m not gonna lie: I’ve been thankful for the excuse.
Every other day I question if my time devoted to the blog {twitter, facebook, etc} is what I’m supposed to be doing. And if it’s not, I pray God slams the door tight on my desire to keep going. But He doesn’t slam the door. He closes it a bit from time to time, and that is my cue to step back. It strengthens and encourages my soul to do so. But then He opens it wide again and my heart feels the pull to keep on keepin’ on.
While I genuinely enjoy interacting with other folks via social media, I easily start to care too much about how my words come across to you, especially in regards to twitter and facebook. If I’m getting my groove going there and hear Cricketville in return, I feel like a hyperactive labrador retriever who just walked into a room full of cats. I’m all spastic in that labrador-y way, jumping up and down. While my tail wags ninety to nothing, I say to the cats,
“Hey, you guys wanna play?”
And those cats lazily look my direction and with a swish of their tails reply in that cat-like way,
“Ya know, we’re just. not. that. into you.”
When this starts to happen, it usually means I need to step away from the social media. Will you join me hereand share how you manage to keep a healthy perspective in all things social media?
