I'd Like To Buy The World A Coke*

Oh internets. I want to hug you.

Here's the thing about social media. Mention on Facebook that you are having a hard time locating chestnuts for your family stuffing recipe, and 17 people will immediately suggest where you might be able to buy them.

Write about being a little down in a blog or on your Facebook wall? The number of hands that reach out to hold you up? Too numerous to mention. Too amazing to even discuss rationally. Too precious to try to value.

I feel so LOVED, y'all.

So on Thanksgiving? When I'm with my family and cuddling my nephew? I'll also be giving thanks for you. For being awesome. And for offering me love when I don't feel very lovable, for making me laugh when I don't feel like laughing, and for reminding me that there's more -- SO much more -- light out there than there is darkness.

You have no idea how much you all rock.


*Except for my friend Ed. I'd have to buy him a Pepsi.
