I have decided to take much needed break from Facebook. I hope to use the extra time this frees up to work on my backlog of Blog writing topics. For now I am sharing the note I posted yesterday on my FB account. As well as a link to a blog article I wrote 8 years ago about a smart phone diet I did in 2018. It will be interesting to compare the experience… https://iterativeliving.wordpress.com/2012/12/15/my-smart-phone-diet-reflections-on-a-few-days-with-reduced-connectivity/

hello FB Friends and acquaintances. I have decided to take a 30+ day break from Facebook. On Monday night I will deactivate my account for the next 30+days.

I will miss the opportunity to connect and hear from you so feel free to drop me a note and share news with me via email: skisushi@gmail.com
I hope to invest some of the time previously spent engaging FB into writing and sharing via my Blog: https://iterativeliving.wordpress.com/
Since I won’t be posting my blog updates via FB, Feel free to subscribe.
I will still be obsessively posting my Nordic Ski and Openwater Swim adventures and pictures to Strave and Instagram.
I do appreciate all the love and support and information you all have shared with me on FB. That is why I most likely will be back after this 30 day break. ☮❤🙂

Sharing another one of My 13 year old Son’s poems here as a guest post.    Shared with with permission from Nate. Apparently he read some poetry by Amanda Gorman (inauguration poet) for a class and it inspired him to write this incredible poem. I hope you enjoy as much as I did.  ~Seth

A Poem by Nathan Horowitz

Waking up. 

The warm stream of sunlight runs across your face like a stream 

Standing up 

The head rush, the excitement for what’s to come 

The gears inside keep chugging, moving along 

You’re ready, 

Ready to make a change, 

Ready to make a difference. 

Even in the hardest of hard times, 

You can feel the rhyme, 

Ready to write your way out of the dark world and into the light 

To light your way, 

To a better future, 

The great future, 

That will help everyone along the way, 

To help light their path. 

That’s how we can make the moments last.
