A Month of Gratitude, Day 18 - Social Media

Wednesday, December 18, 2013
Back when I started this blog in 2007, I was resisting the social pressure to join Facebook, MySpace, and other forms of social media. It seemed too intrusive, and I didn't really see why I needed it - after all, I had my blog.

Then I finally succumbed to peer pressure and joined Facebook. And I have to say that the experience has improved my life. I was able to reconnect with a number of people I care about with whom I'd lost touch. I was able to become more involved in the daily lives of friends and family with whom I have limited contact due to geography. I've met a number of good and funny people through social media, friends of friends.

Today I'm grateful for social media, which has enriched my life and deepened my relationships.

As am I, because I have met WONDERFUL people through your blog and then, FB. And then, in person. Just amazing.
