Social Media Helps Us Sell Our Ideas

In our social media class at South Hills, part of our class project is to create a blog where we will write and post things we care about.  My blog, “Inspirational Moments,” will cover some of my life’s experiences, which I want to share with you. Your thoughts are welcomed in the Comment section, and my hope is that you will share my post with your friends on Facebook or any other social media that you use.

I am excited about using social media, especially Facebook, to post my blog stories. Facebook not only helps businesses promote their products and ideas, but it helps the rest of us, too. We learn the interests of others by the photos and videos they share of their families and pets. I find Facebook inspiring because it lets me know what my friends and family are doing and what they care about.

This morning when I was walking from the parking lot to the school, I heard lots of quaking in the direction I was headed. I had recently heard about the South Hills ducks and wondered if this could be them.  Sure enough, straight ahead on the grassy section to the left of the sidewalk was a mother duck quaking, non-stop.  The father duck stood quietly in the distance. Gazing at them both for a few minutes, I was touched by the spirit of the mother duck, and the obedience of the father duck, as they prepare for their next exciting journey.

Inspired by the ducks, I continued on my own walk which led me through the school doors and into an exciting journey of my own.

Remembering Others With Greeting Cards

 

Who still likes to pick up mail and discover a colored, hand-written, envelope in the mailbox? It's like receiving a gift and wondering what is inside. Hand-written cards are like gifts. It takes time to go to the store where you could spend an hour looking for a particular card that you feel is just right for the person you are sending it to. You then set aside a quiet time at home where you can sit down and write your thoughts and wishes on the card.  If you don't have postage, you will need to take the card to the post office. Finding the right stamp at the post office is almost as tedious as looking for the right bow to match the wrapping paper on a gift you just wrapped. Considering all this time and effort to get a card ready to mail can be a daunting task. But don't let these steps prevent you from sending cards when they seem more warranted than a text or an email, which is far more convenient.  Cards make the receivers feel special because of all the work they know that you put into getting the cards ready to send to them. Cards really do inspire others. When I see a card in my mailbox, I open as soon as I receive it. I can't even wait until I get home. Please let me know what you think about sending cards and the blessings you received by doing so.
