When I was a little girl I used to love Show and Tell; Show and Tell was on Friday and I couldn't wait to see what everyone would bring. Meanwhile, I would worry all week about what I should pack up and lug off to school that day. The kids in my class brought in lots of cool stuff...stuffed animals missing an ear, dolls with hideous hair sticking up or falling out, shiny new galoshes, a rhinestone necklace from the carnival, a gerbil that bit somebody, a hideous lime green sweater knitted by someone's grandma...the list goes on and on.
In spite of all the ridiculous stuff, we just loved getting a sneak peak into the lives of our friends. And at the same time we loved deciding what little tidbit of our lives we would share each week.
Travel forward fifty years...here I am doing the same exact thing! Yup, Facebook is really just Show and Tell for adults. Admit it, you love looking at the pictures and videos of what's going on in your friends' lives. You love reading and commenting about what's going on with everybody. And I bet I'm right...you like deciding what to share on Facebook.
We are social animals and our connections are so important. Those connections reassure us that we are "okay". So, to all my friends on Facebook...keep sharing. I love feeling close to you even though so many of you are far away!
