5. Meditation

i think i need to learn how to meditate - that or take a break from facebook....

i woke up this morning and checked facebook (because...what else would i do?). my mother's cousin had left some snarky update about how obama has not kept any promises and then her friends all left comments about how they didn't want him anywhere near the white house...etc...etc.

really? you wanted sarah palin there instead? REALLY???

so i had to leave a comment back. it should end there, right? but no - here am i still pissed - and why? this woman lives in KY. i've seen her all of once in my entire life. i have no reason to care about what she thinks and certainly have no reason to let if affect my mood. for some reason though - political issues just do that to me.

perhaps i need to delete facebook from my cellphone. i'm not on the computer that often but i have my cellphone everywhere i go which means i'm always checking facebook. talk about an addiction! why can't i be addicted to exercise?


**so what did do after posting this? checked my facebook. good god. is there a support group for this?

Take it off your phone. :) That way you only check it when you are on the computer.

I know it's hard--I get so frustrated when I see old friends on Facebook who have a "Nobama" posting or a fiance of a friend who has photos from a tea party rally, but without the opposite viewpoint, what would fuel us? Politics gets me riled up too, until I become very, very grateful that my partner has similar viewpoints to me, so I don't have to get riled up constantly in my own home. :)

My favorite places to meditate, so to speak, would be outdoors! I hate it when Ryan suggests that I take a walk to cure me of my pregnancy woes, but honestly, he's right. Fresh air is called that for a reason. xo
