I decided this morning with it being #followfriday on Twitter I would go about it in a different way. I see a lot of people putting several names and then the hash tag #followfriday and I have done this myself. There is nothing wrong with doing #followfriday this way, nothing at all.

My idea today was to do my #followfriday tweets one person at a time. I thought about it and decided each person is special and they all mean different things to me. Each #followfriday person has touched or impacted my life in a special way. I figured I could at least take the time to mention each one personally and give the reason why I think others should follow them.

I have to say with my (what I would call short) time on Twitter this has to be the best #followfriday ever. Not because I got several mentions but because of the reactions I got from other people. I know… I could not see them smiling but I felt it and that’s like a drug, no it’s better than a drug.

Pastor Jimmy told a story last Sunday about how sometimes he says before service “Stand up and hug some people to the right of you and to the left of you.” A lady told him she really loved that because that was the only time during the week she ever got a hug… that touched my heart and made me think.

Connecting and touching others lives is what it’s all about, I know sometimes I get so wrapped up in trivial things I don’t stop to take the time to tell people how much I appreciate them. I am very grateful for kind words and smiles and I am very grateful for the folks on Twitter that follow me and put up with my silly hillbilly ways.
