There are days, it's better to stay away from social networking.

 You could start a panic.

One rough moment in a lifetime of smooth sailing can disrupt every "friend" you have.

Or, if you have rough moments often, I'll refer you to the childhood story, "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".

You know the one, the adults in your life used to throw that at you every time they didn't want to listen to you.

Not to get off topic but,

it needed to be said.

One minute you are posting a two word status, the next, you are bombarded with enough love, comfort  (and a few threats concerning potential long-term house guests!) to get you through the next eighteen menstrual cycles and three family crisis.

Now THAT'S saying something!

I love my people. I do.

Just when you think you've faded into the background,

you are reminded that's not how family works. 

There are no "small parts" in life.

There is always going to be someone who loves you, cares enough to go the distance and make you completely insane.

(or at least make the trip interesting)
