The suggestion to limit time spent on social media
on my self-care journey has worked wonders for me.
Minimalization a.k.a. de-clutter – a 30-day challenge.
Although I did delete apps I didn’t wish to trash my
personal work.
On Facebook I deactivated two specific pages. One
showed transferred blogging posts and the other
years of items crafted.
My budgeted allowance is 30 minutes each morn.
I begin by tending to my Fairyland in memory of
garden app (12 years, 3 months old) then scan the
notifications from my hometown groups (good to
remain knowledgeable ’bout current local events).
Next and last is a quick scroll of the newsfeed with
a limit of ten post reads.
This morn I was flabbergasted. I sat closer to the
laptop’s screen in order to re-read a post written
IMO by a most ungrateful woman. I suppose she
was looking for sympathy from other women.
I rarely comment on posts like these in groups.
Avoid drama!
The content of the post – several paragraphs
with regard to her husband’s increased
workload (40 to 60 hours) due to the Pandemic.
This woman, a widow after 43 years of marriage
within two years found a man who doesn’t smoke
nor drink and actually WORKS.
She was considering leaving him since quality
time shared was now a bare minimum of three
hours each evening (supper and watching TV).
Ladies made comments only they were totally
opposite of what she appeared to be in search
thereof.
The post had been up for an hour when the
administrator suddenly shut it down.
I wonder if this woman would like to endure
the alternative, ‘living alone’.
It seems she is seeking perfection! Hard to find in real life

Yes, the ungrateful witch was upset due to the sudden lack of intimacy (fact I chose to bypass) since her husband in his 60s was tired after putting in long hours at work. Enough said as her post made my blood boil before breakfast.

She seems very self centred then not to appreciate what she has. Maybe she got told in the comments exactly that and that was why she took her post down. Have a good day June.

Hi Di, Yes, she received such comments and didn’t wish to agree with them so started to become argumentative. IMO I felt she should sit with her thoughts, evaluate them and be extremely thankful for her life circumstances since the health crisis has created a change in life for everyone.
