Social media is all the rage now. It is everywhere, all of the time. You see people on Facebook, Twitter and other sites. When is the last time you went out and didn't see someone on their phone. Perhaps you are guilty of it yourself, I know that I am.
In my house we have a simple rule of no phones or devices at the dinner table. Most of us abide by it, with one exception, my husband. If his phone goes off he will check it. I am not sure what could be so important that it can't wait 15 minutes, but it is something I have accepted. He is an adult after all and can make his own choices. My children however do not have that choice.
Social media can be a nice way to keep in touch with distant family, catch up with long lost friends, and even waste a little time mindlessly. The problem is that for many people it becomes a time sucker. You go on the computer just to check a couple of things and before you know it an hour is gone. What could you have accomplished if you didn't have the Internet during that hour? What did you miss out on?
It leads me to wonder, are you on line, dreaming of the life you want, or are you out there living the life you dream? We are only here once, why waste it? Nobody is going to put on their gravestone "wish I had spent more time on Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, etc."
It is time to live the life you dream. Stop thinking of the adventures you would like to have, things you want to try, and get off the computer and Do Them!
