On any given day, five minutes perusing Facebook could bring home things that are absent from my life. Sons heading out on the next chapter of their lives, seaside adventures with granddaughters, hilarious brothers connected through time memories heart, longtime friends serving as sidekicks mentors counselors. How fabulous that Facebook lets me vicariously enjoy those moments & relationships, without any sense of "If only..."
In hind sight, get goosebumps that life has taken the turns it has over the years. If my life was filled with sons & granddaughters & longtime friends, I'd be too busy helping pack, putting on sun screen & having a blast on toots to the Big Apple to be doing the work that matters so much to me.
Thanks to Facebook, I get to savor moments & appreciate all the love & connection they represent. And I get to share my endeavors to promote ways of aging expansively - whether a toddler or adolescent, thirty-something or ancient.
It's doubtful I'd be doing the work of this moment without Facebook. Impossible to describe the impact of having such a glorious community surrounding me with their loves & creativity, insights & information. Impossible to describe the power of being able to put out an idea that just swept over me or ask for input suggestions inspiration.
Hey, Facebook - rock on! .
