So it is true, I have returned to the book of face. I really had every intention of trying to stay off it for a whole year. However in this day and age it almost seems impossible to keep in touch with many people without it. In December I decided to send out Christmas cards, having skipped the year before. As much as I tried to save addresses from everyone, some got lost, and it was difficult to send them out to everyone. Damn I could have used Facebook! As our cruise ended I knew I would need the book of faces in order to keep in touch with people we met. Only one person didn’t have the book, that was because of his job being strict with what he could and couldn’t post on it. I totally get that. While I could have had our new friends just add John, and they did, he never uses it except for the months he’s off. So I went back . . .

Adding people back on Facebook has been a challenge. When I deleted my old one I neglected to back up my friends list. Oops! Also many people have their accounts set to only “friends of friends” can friend request them. While you can send them a message, it goes into their “other” mailbox which most people don’t know exists. I found it by accident and was shocked to see three years of messages in it from various people.

So if you would like to be friends again, here is a link to my new Facebook. Now I’m NOT going back to my old ways of posting anything and everything, I’m going to be very minimal on it as to not get sucked into the drama. My main use for using it is to stay in contact with people. I will continue to use my Instagram as my main platform for sharing photos, along with my various blogs for life updates.
