Facebook…oh dear sweet, lovable to hate Facebook.

This “Social” outlet for good or for evil, for better or worse, I love it.

I have been to so many weddings,  Birthday Parties, Graduations, Vacations,

Births, all from the creeping around on people’s tagged pics, of people I do not know at all. It’s quite fascinating really. I have also attempted a “social Media Fast” on a few occasions , I don’t know, something about trying to re-focus my attention or something, these “Fasts” all together lasted about 48.5 minutes. Which is good, for me.

I have also, come back in contact with people scattered out all across my past. Beautiful, real  people, that were it not for this social network, I may have never seen or talked to again..in this way. I get to see their lives, kids, houses, dogs, mobile uploads, struggles and triumphs. Without making a Facebook, this, enrichment of my life, would have never occurred.

Kids HATE in total, that adults have entered this world at an alarming rate over the last several years.  They had a world free from Farm games, little factoid pics, and comments, at this level, then we showed up. Which is the fun part, for this MOM anyway. J ( notice, a smiley.)

I am, unfortunately, sarcastic. Sometimes this particular power is used for good. To end a bad moment, stop an argument, make someone think about what we are even saying, stuff  like that.  I also use this particular power at times for evil, and end up in a heap of trouble.  In real life, it sorta works for me. Someone can see my face, my body language and eventually “get” it.

However, in the Facebook  world, not so much. I have been deleted, blocked, un-friended, re-friended, smashed, and in boxed way more than a person should be. 

Sure..It makes it impossible to hear the “tone “ in a person’s post, or comment. But I have found if you add a little  “  J   “  to the said post, or comment it may or may not help to take the sting out of whatever you have to say. Also a real nice little “ LOL” takes the bite out as well.

I often try to see the lesson in things, and what is the lesson of  Facebook?

None. Not a single lesson. Just life. Life we enjoy sharing. Pics we like to share, thoughts we like to share, songs we sing, Love we have.  So, click like, add a smiley, and Laugh out LOUD..in real life as well as Facebook.

PEACE!
