Space to BE

I am definitely a connections person. I love talking to people and sharing my experiences and hearing what other people believe and think. That's one of the things I love about Facebook. There are so many friends to make and so many connections. It is amazing.

My wife thinks it's funny when I talk about my friends on Facebook, especially when it's in reference to someone I've never actually met. She's not on Facebook at all, well that's not entirely true, because I have posted pictures of us on my wall, but I can't even tag her because she has no page. Oh well, anyone that knows me, knows that Keri is my baby, my wife and the love of my life. :)

Anyway, I think Facebook is cool because I can have little chats with people I, otherwise, would not even have a chance to meet. I get to see family and friends all over the U.S., watch their kids grow up, make connections with my mom and have funny little chats with friends in and out of town, watch my nieces grow and change and occasionally there are things I see on Facebook that are not my favorite, but I do a pretty good job of ignoring what annoys me. Why focus on something that causes me irritation? Right?

I'm not crazy about political or sports related rants, but I understand people have their opinions and passions. I just choose to ignore those posts and keep my focus on what I enjoy about Facebook. I did have a funny little experience recently when a couple of people posted comments about being sad or letting "tears roll", because I automatically think, Oh my, why are you sad? why are you crying? and in both of those cases it was related to a football game. I have seen videos on FB of people getting completely out of control over a football game and I am not putting these in the same category, I think sometimes people get a little too wrapped up in sports, but there again you have me judging others based on my standards.

Some might think I get too wrapped up in talking about nutrition, my wonderful golden retriever or my sweet little wife. I guess we all just have to learn to tolerate each other's passions and allow every one the space to be exactly who they want to be. Starting NOW!

Starting now! I mean, Starting now.
