Learning what to do

I'm still not too sure about what exactly Facebook is for. It looks like people use it to share pictures, mainly. It's not altogether clear to me how to use it yet, but I am sure I will learn. I don't have a handle on any of this yet. There are a lot of new tools for me to explore. Some of them I may lay aside in favor of others, or I might discover that I've stumbled onto a suite of winners which enrich my life in all kinds of ways.

Today was Sunday, which meant going to choir practice and then the 10:30am service at the Episcopal Church of the Ascension. I don't know if I will ever be deeply religious, but I do know that going to Ascension is very important to me. I get a lot out of the services and being with the people there. The church takes part in the community food bank, which I think is very important. There are different service organizations within the church that do different ministries like visiting the sick and lonely, or community outreach things. I like it. It's my kind of place.

I made the effort to get an hour of direct sunlight today. It's supposed to be good for you and beneficial for depression. The afternoon sun streaming into the apartment through the open windows felt good, and the warmth was pleasant next to the cool air. I sat on the couch and leafed through a yarn catalog. It was very hard to last for an hour. I kept wanting to get up and do something else. I craved stimulation rather than stillness. I guess that says something about the way I am. I don't know if it's something I should work on changing or not. I've kind of got my hands full of change right now, so I'll just have to revisit this later.

So no huge insights to offer today, just commentary on the day's activities. I've baked 2 dozen cookies, made 2 1/2 gallons of tea, talked to my family on the phone, read other's people's blogs and facebook updates, updated in my Happiness Project toolbox, and now I've made my post for the day. Still no Twitter, but I will get around to it soon.
