I have always enjoyed Facebook. But, yesterday, I really took notice of Facebook's value when connecting with others. Here's what happened...
My defining characteristic is to connect with friends and colleagues by dinning at a nice restaurant with good food, fine wine, uplifting conversations and photo ops for Facebook. This is how I roll.
Sitting at home, listening to folks on the telephone whine, wail, and complain is no longer acceptable. I will no longer engage in that type of situation. There are psychologists, psychiatrists, therapists and church workers who tend to those issues... not me. Those professionals are not going to listen over the phone. You have to go in... face to face. Hence, I will not be used as a short-cut. I will not engage.
Anyhoo..... I do this dinner thing in so many wonderful ways. Nursing dinning meetings, conferences and even on my own. It is important to stay connected with folks in positive ways.
Yesterday, I met my long time friend Sallie at the Glenwood Oaks Rib and Chophouse. We dine out about 3 to 4 times per year. We are blessed to be able to go to nice restaurants with those beautiful backdrops that permit for uplifting, engaging conversations over good food and fine wine. The ambiance is so nice, we do this more and more frequently.
Whenever I go out, I take photos to share on Facebook. It is important for folks to see quality friendships and positive spins on life.
Last night, I uploaded photos from the evening dinning, and a colleague recognized my friend!!! They both are in the same union!!!! Now, I envision this little group growing to a party of three. Both are hard workers, long time friends of mine and are both positive folks! This is great!!!
Had it not been for the photo-sharing on Facebook, this connection would have never been known!
