A country you would like to visit.
As a child the country I wanted to visit was Australia. It had this appeal to me since it was the "Land Down Under." It was the only place I felt like I had to visit in my lifetime. Since then I have been to a few other countries but now I have added a new place to my list, Italy.
I really have no reason for this. I've never really dreamed about it or thought I had to go there. I think what makes me want to go there is the romantic aspect of it. I keep telling my husband we need to go to Italy for our 10th anniversary (which is only 2 1/2 years away). If I live my life and never visit Italy I won't be disappointed but I will always wonder if it would be a romantic trip or if I would be disappointed by my expectations.

Life without Social Media
From Mama Kat's Writing Workshop
I know of a few people who do not have a facebook page. It's crazy. How can you not? In all honesty I can understand the reason why you would not get one. It is the latest craze and to avoid being part of the masses it is easy to put down your foot and say I'm not going to be on facebook.
But as a stay at home mom who mostly interacts with people under four feet tall, facebook has become my world of sanity. It reminds me that there are other moms who are having bad days or there are people who live normal lives and most importantly there are people who travel to far off places to explore world. And at least I can live through them.
I know I could live without tv. It would be my preference, actually. But life without social media would very likely make me an out of touch, stressed out, overwhelmed mother. Well, maybe I am already one of those but at least social media can momentarily help me slip into another world.
**And if we did not have social media I would not get so many people wishing me a Happy Birthday (my absolute favorite feature of facebook).
