The Grass is Green

Day 363:

On facebook once again. Trying to catch up on old friends lives that I haven't talked to in over a year and even sometimes question why they are friends of mine anyway. But here I sit looking through picture after picture of estranged people from my life and a weird thing starts to happen. I start to feel a tinge of jealousy and then a tinge of, "oh, they look like have such a better life than me." I quickly try to put these feelings in check, but with every click of the mouse I feel them slowly creeping back in.

What is the big deal if my "friends" on facebook are having good lives. Don't I want to wish them all the best life has to offer? Of course I do, but I still catch myself comparing. So my lesson, if I can call it that, is not to compare my life with anyone else's. Focus in on my life and celebrate with people where they are in their live.
