As I described in my earlier post...there were two dishes I dearly loved, that became almost glued together when the large ceramic coffee cup was placed in the 4 cup measuring cup during my time of washing dishes. 

For nothing at all would they separate...everything I tried wouldn't work.  I thought for sure the coffee cup would end up getting smashed so that I could use the 4 cup coffee cup.

But I hung on to them....thinking they would be a great object lesson when teaching.

Today, I was doing dishes and noticed the two "glued" dishes sitting by the window while I was running the garbage disposal.  I picked them up, while the garbage disposal was running....which was doing nothing, except vibrating the sink.  The coffee cup teetered in the measuring cup!!!  OH!!  With just a little bit of wiggling and jiggling the two pieces....the coffee cup and the measuring cup separated!!  Their "world" was being moved, so they were forced to change.

YES!!!!!  Now I can use both of them...and the other large coffee cup has a twin (something for my hubby and I to use :)  I couldn't stop singing and dancing about the kitchen for a while because I was soooo estatic that niether had to be shattered!

In the same way...like I wrote about Facebook in the last post....It was necessary for Facebook and I to be separated...I thought one of us would be shattered...and in my sillyness...I thought it would be me...because I sooo LOVE the people on there and what Facebook provides. 

It was unhealthy in the way I was using Facebook.  Kind of as if I was setting that coffee mug within my measuring cup....I allowed Facebook to consume most of my heart. Nothing else got much of my time. 

Our "worlds" were moved (like the vibration of the garbage disposal) through that virus (mentioned in the last blog post).  I could go back, but there is a saying "Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results".

Facebook and I are still separated.....I am filling the "void" with necessary things like housework and studying.  My email account is a means of communication, just as is the telephone, snail mail....and of course, face to face :)

Facebook is still meeting the needs and wants of so many....and will continue to do so.

My life will continue to have "garbage disposal" moments.....the question is how will I respond when I feel the vibration?
