Status Updates

I've started to update my Facebook status regularly. I don't know how long the fascination will last. I mention this activity here because what I write needs to be said in a few words,, to the point and clever. It needs to be worth someone else's attention. Who cares if I need to empty the dishwasher or take the dog out?

The surprise for me is that I pause and consider. What is my status? How do I feel? What do I want people to know about? What do I need to say? It is an exercise in honesty and reflection--a creative moment.
