It never ceases to amaze how "fun" the game of life is. Just when you think you have a handle, here comes a '12 to 6' curveball. And, if you were like me, then curveballs made you look like a silly-fool swinging a baseball bat. :)
Of course, it is nothing that is isolated to just my life. With the Facebook/ Twitter phenomenon, I can usually be witness to life events of my friends. Now, this is not meant to say that I want to see bad things happen. But, I am a firm believer that from the pain/ hard times that we grow. Maybe, we learn from others. Maybe, we over advice or a kind thought to ease their pain. Maybe, we remind them of a funny time from our past, as humor is such a powerful tool against gloom and pain. I guess you just never know. But, we all have to keep trying.
This whole social networking is such a new and powerful experience for me. My life has usually always been just that, mine. I never looked to burden myself onto others, but in hindsight that probably kept me closed off from fully developing my potential. These new outlets allow for me to put myself out there and that is probably a good thing.
So, I guess I still have work to do. And, I need to not worry about other's impressions and just express myself...
I recently started thinking about somebody again, and I am not sure what that means.
Hope this reflection keeps you smiling... it's great to see the other side of you!
