Breaking the Fast

Yeah, no White Chrismas for us...


Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season, filled with love, family, and peace. Seeing as Christmas has come and gone, that means two things for me. One, my favorite season of the year is over with (So sad. But I will not be taking my Christmas decorations down for a while. Noooo. I am going to stretch out this time of holiday cheer as long as I can....). Two, that I am officially done with my internet fast, Lentmas. I'm going to say, it was really nice. I was expecting to experience some sort of withdrawls or sadness with not having Facebook be a regular part of my life, but in all honesty, it was just, nice. I didn't feel this constant pull to be at the computer at all hours of the day or the incessent need to check it at regular intervals. I noticed that I was happier and not as, I don't know, down on myself or whatever, as I normally am when it is a part of my life. I'm thinking that this might be a more permanent part of my life, instead of a momentarily break for a small group assignment.

Moving on...

Christmas was wonderful and nice and sweet to be with my small little family. There's really nothing more that my heart could wish for during this time. Cue the photo montage....
