That’s right. For one whole month, I will not log into my Facebook account and check on the updates from my friends. Yessiry, I will not.
I’ve just thought of doing this 30-day challenge just to test my self-control, if I have any. But why Facebook? I would like to try something that is a bit easier and then get harder for the next months.
I’ve been checking on Facebook every single day. Which is not good because it really eats up my time. So can I do this challenge? It’s the 3rd of July when I wrote this and so far since the 1st, I haven’t visited that site.
I’m off to a good start.

I am a full-time freelancer and that means I work completely here in my house. My work is mainly for website writing and Internet marketing with clients that are all from other countries.
Now, most of my friends or anybody else for that matter often would ask me if I earn enough through freelancing. I always give them a vague answer which is, “Yes”.
I say that it is vague because the term enough means completely different from one person to another. What is enough for me may not be enough for you. Now if you will ask if I make enough money to pay the bills and other basic expenditures, then again I would answer in the affirmative.
But when it comes to my recreational needs, it is barely enough. And recreational for me doesn’t mean a great big deal. I would include in that category a once-a-month trip to the movie house (which I rarely do because of work or other personal stuff), dining out with my wife, and going on a trip just to name a few. But don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining. I am content that we are able to pay for the mortgage of our house and the utilities.
So for me, contentment is too hard to qualify. Even for myself because my needs and wants keep on changing. I guess that’s the nature of contentment and of being human in the first place. We just can never be satisfied.
