I used to be very active on facebook before I took up quilting. I still try to keep up somewhat because all my music friends are there. I really don't want to let that part of my life slip away, but I can see the inclination to do just that pulling at me. I have always had several creative outlets; painting, beading, crafting in general. After I got hurt, and lost many of my more physical activities, I discovered that I could write songs. I became fairly active in the local music scene, and music makes me happy and away from my pain just like quilting does. With the quilting, I can just stay home and do it when I want. It feeds my tendency to hermitize. I really need to resist that and continue to get out and mingle with my music friends too. Left to my own tendencies, I'd probably never leave the house. LOL
Hugs and smiles all, wildlinda
