Scatter Social Sunshine

     Social media today is filled with folks who want to share a message, myself included.  I particularly enjoy seeing friends and family grow and thrive in the lives they have made for themselves.  Others pass along political information, funny sayings or inspiring quotes.  These folks make a habit of seeking out and sharing the best of what social media has to offer.  They keep their glasses full and fill others' glasses as well.
     But there is also the social media user who is out there just to spread manure, sew a bad seed and put a rain cloud over Media-land.  Constantly ranting and raving, sharing doom and gloom, what is the mission of this user?  Surely there is a way to educate and create awareness without tearing down.  There is a way to speak of  life's stormy days without showing yourself to be the perpetual victim forever mired in the half emptiness of your glass. And the manure?  Leave it in the cow where it belongs!
     Today see what you can do to make something better than it is.  Put yourself out there to be a help rather than a hindrance.  Smile.  Better yet, watch a silly, dub-step cat video - and laugh.  Share your life, share your love and share a better message.
