I am not sure why I decided to try this. I think it stems for a feeling of disconnect from the real world, too many half finished projects, too many "hold on, I'll be right there kids". None of us are here forever, and I spend the majority of my day posting memes, making rude jokes, being nosy, instead of taking care of these other more pressing responsibilities.
I also think that i use it as an escape from the reality of having a severely disabled child. When i had my other journal, we were still in the innocent world of believing he was merely delayed and deaf..Now we are painfully aware that bad things can happen to anyone, and you can either let it destroy you, or you can rise up every day to make the best of that particular day. I am choosing the latter. My goal for this journal is to write an entry every day, and post pictures of things ive done/accomplished during my 40 days away from Facebook, and hopefully learn from this experience.
Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Lenten season.
