A Facebook Trend I'm Thankful For!

Although I am not as active as many, I am on Facebook. The "friend" interactions can be positive. Sometimes we hear from old friends we had a good relationship with. Sometimes we hear from old friends we don't want to have anything to do with. Thankfully we have a choice with "friend" requests.

I've reconnected with an old friend who was there and remembers details that I don't when I broke my leg at a motocross race in my youth. Four surgeries and almost 40 years later, my now fused ankle is something I live with daily. Hearing his account of my life-defining moment and seeing him when he comes into town has been a good thing.

I am a fan of pet and kid pictures but don't quite get pictures of food. Games are not for me, but are a nice diversion to how hard we work. I apologize to those who invite me to play Farmville, Diamond Dash and Candy Crush. I don't respond to those requests.

Generally, I think Facebook is a positive communication tool that enhances our lives in ways previous generations never had. Used correctly it is good for business. Facebook helps define our business personality. It also enables us to share good stuff. May I suggest you LIKE the FreePromoTips Facebook Page?

"Seven Things You Don't Know About Me" is a pretty cool Facebook post that people are sharing. I've not taken time to do this, but it's positive and enables you to learn more about your Facebook "friends."

What I do find refreshing is trending Facebook posts on what you are thankful for. This is timely at the Thanksgiving and Holiday Season. Life is crazy busy for most of us. Taking the time to share these things is worthwhile.
