A Good Thing

I am so full of stress as I type this. So much crap with Mom has been going on. So many years of a messed up life that I just do not seem to have the skills to fix. Years of well-intentioned people saying 'I wish I could help, but ...' Sad. Beyond sad?

A good thing that has happened this year is that I discovered Twitter. I had been using Myspace, and then finally, Facebook. Though, it's Twitter where I have been spending most of my online time. Facebook runs a close-second, but it is Twitter where I have followed many and now have even more following me. I have found more than just a community there; I have found a few new friends. What is better still, is that I have found an outlet for charitable work. By Tweeting and re-Tweeting information about charitable causes and organizations, along with my regular varied Tweets, I am able to do a little something, my part (?) in helping spread the word and make a difference in the world. It feels good, and my climb at Twitter in terms of meeting people and my number of followers too, has been swift. Amazing. It's only been maybe half a year but I find inter-acting with others, that has been my strong suit, when I am placed in the proper arena to do so; the interacting is what stimulates discussion and creates reputation. I have been blessed with Twitter. Lots of kind words and praises there. My world is a little less empty now. That IS a good thing!
