Social Media Mirror

Recently, I had a gathering of friends at my house.  Amidst the laughter and the sharing of stories, pictures were taken and shared.

Later, I held my finger above the post button on my social media account, ready to share a reflection of a positive experience. At the last minute, I hit delete instead of publish.  I realized that posting would lead to checking for subsequent "likes", instead of continuing to relish the positive feelings that came from the party. 

The posting wouldn't capture the most important part of the evening; the support I receive from an amazing group of women, who have been with me through the good, the bad and the ugly.  Women who I can call on, at any time of day or night, to share my accomplishments, or to find a shoulder to cry on.
