Good points, and guilty as charged. I can find things on Amazon that I can’t find locally or even sometimes online elsewhere. I don’t do Facebook except Marketplace which is how I can get used stuff at an affordable price.
To give up on that would mean I need to live without some “stuff”. Which is probably what I should do anyway.
My sister is off of FB. Her husband drives for FedEx.
The rifts between me and the people in my life leave me depressed. I lost my husband a year ago but he had suffered from dementia for about 8 years before that, so I’ve not had a close friend for a long time. Figuring out ways to try to improve my home or surprise and play with the grandkids has been a way to find something I can do now that it seems nobody can actually discuss things.
I love my family. We used to all be close but now the political divisions leave us unable to talk about much except pleasantries. It’s the opposite of “There’s a Quiet Understanding” - more like “There’s a loud misunderstanding when we’re not gathered in the Spirit...”
Somehow I need to come to enough peace over the world falling apart, that I can meet them where they’re at so we once again care about the same things and can hear each other.
