As usual, I am thankful for the people in my life and those who have shared my life. This post comes at a troubling time for me in a way. I have another friend logging out of Facebook for good. This has been happening a lot lately. I want to tell everyone why I have not. I am aware of its evils; but what it has done for me is give me my friends back, if only for a time; whether they feel the same about me or not. I have been fantasizing lately that if my writing took off I would be showcasing the remarkable people I know with their consent I hope. I know some of the most amazing people. The one leaving is one of them...I understand but choose to hold on as long as I am able for those still here. Some of you barely connect with me...Some of you have damn good reasons and I am sorry for my inadequacy sometimes. I may not share posts that insist I prove it...but as time allows I watch your posts. Throw out the cliche and really hear this. I have laughed, cried, speculated, and got mad with you guys. Out of the nearly 180 people on my friends list nearly all of them are people I have, or do share my life with...I have a few handfuls of gamer buds...but the rest are family and real friends. I have three people who are sick this thanksgiving...I really prayed about it and was terribly sad. I have one sitting in a hotel room alone, unemployed and disillusioned. I cried. I have one that had a horrible experience in a place that should have been the funnest...I cared about that...when she posted her falling in love story and a picture of her lover I was overwhelmed with happiness and cried...I imagine I will never forget that post it impacted me sooo deeply. How do you say that to somebody....any of it. I talk regularly about the three out there raging against the machine and throwing caution to the wind...I share their passion with others....how they blow me away without their knowledge as the pioneers of our age. I mean it. I am blown away daily by the art, humor, and philosophy that explodes all over my home page. I have been turned inside out with joy...at marriages, babies, graduations, home coming. I have wept over pictures of pets who have died. I have been grieved by the passing of parents, and friends...kept the facebook memorials of those who have passed on. I could go on over a 180 times. I wish I could. I am grateful for all of you...most of those who are some of the bravest, talented and often usually authentic people I have met...thats alot of people...I am speechlessly grateful to you. Thank you for sharing
