Day 220: Facebook

I am grateful for Facebook.  I know there are pros and cons of this website that has become a central point of many of our lives, but I'm choosing to focus on the positive tonight.

I am grateful that I have a way to keep in touch with people that I don't often talk to or see.  Just because you don't see people all the time doesn't mean you don't want to hear about their happy news and see pictures of their amazing adventures and beautiful children.

I am grateful that I can reach out to people I haven't spoken to in awhile.  I've read people's posts and found many of them to be inspirational.  It's nice to be able to send a message and say "thanks for that."  It's an easy way to pass on some positive energy.

I am grateful that Facebook lets me connect with groups of people with similar interests, concerns, opinions; and to the opposite, I'm grateful that Facebook opens my mind to the opinions of others and positions of people I don't typically agree with. 

I am grateful for all the crazy Facebook trends.  Crazy quizzes, TBT, challenges to post about positivity, #100daysofhappy, photo challenges, etc.  

I'm grateful that I am part of the Facebook Generation.
