In the last two hours since the kids left the building, I have deleted over 600 contacts on Twitter who either don’t follow me or who have well over a hundred thousand followers and therefore clearly don’t care about me, or who consistently fill up my Twitter-feed with self-congratulatory proclamations and therefore deserve deletion. I’m hoping to enjoy Twitter again after cleaning house.
I also went back and read a lot of my blog posts and was actually kind of pleasantly surprised at the quality of a few of them. I noticed, while reading them, that in the last year or so, the quantity has decreased in direct proportion to the happiness in my current relationship, which is not to say that I don’t have anything to say, but rather that I have much less to complain about and it seems that complaining comprises the vast majority of my source material (reference paragraph one of this post).
So that’s about it. I just wanted to say that I was still here and still thinking and pondering about things (and writing run-on sentences) but that I don’t have anything very insightful on my mind lately other than the horrifying state of public education in America and writing about that just puts me into a state of agitation and I’m feeling rather peaceful at the moment so I’m not going to tackle that topic just now.
I hope you’re feeling peaceful too.
You can follow me on Twitter @CeceliaHalbert. (If you're interesting, I'll probably follow you back.)
