Like millions of others out there, and you may be one yourself — you know who you are — I am a Facebook junkie!  I resisted it for a long while but eventually gave in, and I’m glad I did.  It’s such a great way to keep in touch and know what’s going on in EVERYONE’S life (even those that you may not care to know).  It’s funny how people from your past start coming out of the woodwork…some it’s great to see and talk to, and some not so much, but either way they’re still “friends”.

So…I’m having a conversation with a friend (wall to wall) and another “friend” got into the conversation.  No big deal, right?  Well, this guy wasn’t very nice in his comment.  In fact, he was downright rude.  My initial reaction was to comment back and defend myself.  I was ready to go to war!  BUT, I didn’t.  Instead, I decided to just send him some love. I figured that’s what he needed more than a cuss word or two (or more!) from me.  I struggled with it for about a day and a half…I’m commenting back, no – I’m sending positive energy, no – tear him a new one, okay – positive, love energy!

Once I got over the curve, I felt great!  It’s so nice to send someone positive energy rather than sink to their negativity.  And, I’m sure he felt horrible for making the comment that he did.

Has this ever happened to you – you say something nasty to someone and they don’t respond, and once you realize they’re not going to respond you feel really bad?

It’s really cool how we can choose how we’re going to respond to something.  We can choose the negative path or the positive one.  It’s your choice!  When I chose the positive path, I felt good and that’s really what it’s all about.  It’s about feeling good!

I love you, Facebook!
