I know, we all come to soc med for different reasons and post widely varying things--
Thank goodness for that, because we learn and grown from our differences.
I use CoSo as a kind of snorkel--I step away from the hard content of the day and share things that please or inspire me.
I think it's important to post at least one thing that you know lifts YOU up, so you are certain to see some good...a version of paying yourself, first.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
- John Rogers
