I managed to hurt my back several weeks ago. Not fun.

Christina was tolerant of my situation. Christina was not however pleased with my lack of movement.

It is nice to have a social life and not leave the house.

This email spoke of a little girl battling a mysterious disease. I glanced over the summary and smiled at the good in society helping this little girl. Reading further, the word pajamas caught my eye. Short version of the story, some guy is raising money to buy pajamas for needy kids. Cool.

I have been looking at pajamas for Christina as it is time for new ones. Now you know why seeing pajamas in an email got my attention.

Side note. Daddy has to get pajamas for Christina. Christina does not want to go shopping for pajamas. Christina wants daddy to pick out pajamas she will like without her feedback. Ugh.

The fundraiser raised more than the gentleman had hoped. Bonus, more pajamas for the kiddos. So my mind wandered to: how social media had helped this goal. And then to, how social media had helped my goal. And next, how social media has changed for me.

More later, Christina requests my presence.

I received an email from Go Fund Me promoting their service. I typically read the first few lines of an email and then delete if it is an advertisement. One particular email mentioned a little girl battling a mysterious disease. Typical email; however, this time I was curious. So I opened the email.

Da da daaa....

Go Fund Me is the third party that suggested and ultimately nudged me to join the Facebook community again.

I had heard of Go Fund Me on a tech blog and checked it out. Sounded good, interesting, the usual. Then I needed a means of paying for a car seat for Christina. So I created a Go Fund Me account and started a fundraiser.
