Y.I. Wednesday: Why I Ditched Twitter

Well, it's not exactly like it sounds...

Or maybe it is.

Last summer I jumped on the Birdy-Bandwagon... and since fall, I've been thinking that the only reason I like Twitter is because it's the quickest, coolest way to get News and Sports.

For the most part, I still think think this way.

But, you see, I'd been contemplating killing the bird a while back, when every time I clicked on a Tweet, I was then linked to another place to 'click'...to which sometimes the link was good, sometimes not...sometimes info was cool, other times not so much..

BOOOOOOORRRRINNNNNNNGGGG.....

It just seemed like a waste of time.

So, I stopped using Twitter to reach out for info...but kept it wondering, 'What if people want to reach ME!?' Well, I had a very quick (and easy) answer to that...

Anyone who wants to read my work can Google or visit any one of my websites to access just about any part of my work.

Sometimes when we just can't make a decision, the decision is occasionally made for us.

I kind of like it when this happens.

It saves me time... (And I need as much as I can get!)

Since I am writing a book, working, running a business, and busy being a parent, I recognized that something had to go but hadn't yet decided if I ought to oust the blue bird...

So, when I recently, accidentally, fowled up my password, and had to hit 'reset'… 

I decided against following through with the reset email....

Now, my life is a tad less cluttered and I have a wee bit more time.

Nighty-Night Twitter...

Hmmm, let's see what else can I ditch.

Facebook anyone?

DON'T FOLLOW ME...

DON’T FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK OR MY BLOG.

I DON’T WANT YOU TO Follow me… instead, I’D LIKE YOU TO go with me. 

I’m a blogger on a mission to lighten people’s days.

I’m not selling anything except contemplation and smiles.

I’m not an expert on anything, just experienced in my own existence. 

Once single, once married, once divorced; three children, working hard and persevering.

Life does have its doozies, and I seem to end up with many of them, but somehow on most days I still end up happier than I was the day before, so I figure, why not share...

If you know someone who would benefit from reading my blogs, please share me!

I hope to reach as many people as I can so thank you in advance for sharing me and my goal.
