Did you ever wonder, or did you simply take it for granted that people really wanted you to answer the questions posed on the various Social Networking sites out there? Yesterday evening, for some reason, when I logged into Facebook I was about to post something when I realized the question posed 'What's on your mind?'
As I thought about it, I wondered, do the 2,000 friends I have on Facebook really want to know what is on my mind? Do they want to know that I had a great day caring for a couple of Families looking for a home in the Clarksville TN Real Estate Market? Or that Pam and I went on two listing appointments the same day?
How about the fact that I still felt exhilarated from the 52.71 mile trek that two friends and I completed on Saturday in memory of one of my friends MSG Tre Ponder during the Soldier Ride Nashville 2009?
Honestly, my mind races - I don't know how to relax my body much less my mind. I am the consummate worrier over anything from ensuring our clients needs are met, to ensuring that I am being a good husband and father. I am not, nor to I ever believe I could be perfect, but I certainly want to be the best person that I can be, thus I am constantly 'thinking' so to tell my friends 'whats on my mind' would be a diatribe that would be hardly understood by anyone but me.
That said, the question 'Whats on your mind?' is a profound question for me and one that I find trouble in answering in the small block provided by Facebook.
I think I will go over to Linkedin and answer the question there 'What are you working on now?' And then on to Twitter and answer the question there 'What are you doing?' Oh, and how about Flickr and answer the question...oh wait, they don't have any question!! Now I am stumped.
So, my question to you is: Do you think about the question that is posed before responding or do you simply place an answer that is quick and possibly quirky?
Something to ponder.
God Bless!
