Okay I know Facebook gets a bad rap and yes there's privacy issues etcetera etcetera. However there are many positives and as with anything you have to weigh out the good and the bad.
With life in general I try to look on the positive side and hopefully incorporate wisdom in there.
For me the big positive of Facebook is connecting with friends! There are people I'm friends with that I may have never connected with again if it weren't for FB, certainly not in the same way. I get to share my friends happy moments, sorrows, bits of silliness; I get to see pics of their kids and vacations even if they live on the other side of the world.
What made me think of this today in particular is I love being able to post an issue or problem and getting people's advice or hearing their stories of similar experiences. This morning I asked if anyone had ever experienced night terror with their kids because my son had an episode with it last night. It was a very stressful night and I was very overwhelmed. I found it so comforting to know friends of mine had the same experience and sympathized with what my hubby & I were going through.
Well that leaves me with my bit of thankfulness for today. Love it or hate it, positives and negatives...I'm thankful for Facebook! Not to mention I'm thankful for all the friends I've been able to connect with!
