Well, it's March.
This should prove to be a pretty entertaining month for me. In a few weeks, I'll fly to Phoenix to watch WrestleMania. And if I can muster the courage while I'm there, I'll accomplish one of my 08.01.09 Manifesto goals by jumping out of an airplane.
March means college basketball and spring training. The snow melts and the flowers bloom as the Earth shakes off its winter chill and the sun returns to us. March is a month to be enjoyed; a month to be...appreciated. And each day this month, I'll go out of my way to make sure that one of my Facebook friends feels appreciated. That's because each day this month I will select one of my FB friends and I will send them a very special message. In it, I'll explain what they mean to me; how they've affected me or inspired me; why I value them; what I appreciate most about them; etc.
These messages won't be a simple, "You're great and I appreciate you" notes. They will be heartfelt, long-considered and completely sincere. There are a lot of people in my life who I love dearly - family, friends, co-workers... Nearly every one of my FB friends has influenced me in some way, and I appreciate each of you dearly. I know that some people feel uncomfortable when presented with an honest assessment of the impact they've made on another's life. If you receive one of these messages, I hope that you read it in the spirit with which they are intended.
Most who receive the messages will probably not be surprised. But some will be. And my method for picking recipients won't be scientific, so please don't be disappointed if you don't receive one. While I care about each of my FB friends, there are but 31 days in March.
And at the end of those 31 days, I will have a new appreciation for the 31 people who receive these messages and for all of the people in my life. This, I promise.
