Knocking Off The Dust

 For years I wrote online for everyone to see. 

I blogged here, then I started using Facebook like a journal.

 I documented my children growing up 

my wins 

my losses

I loved seeing "on this day" pop up and seeing how much far we've come as a family. 

Then my Facebook account was hacked. 

I lost it all. 

My personal page

My business page. 

14 years worth of memories, essays, and life. 

Gone.

I did my best to appeal to facebook's non-existent customer service for help, but found no recourse.

Facebook does not care about it's users. 

I was bereft.

So I started writing on paper again, but Emily Dickinson I am not. 

I take no comfort in the thought that my written words may never see the light of day. 

So I'm back.

All these years later, and this blog remains:

A half filled notebook ready to have the dust blown off.
