Pinning Us Closer

Pinterest!  What a wonderful resource we have access to.  Pinterest has been a game changer in many of our lives.  Wether it helps with your creativity, efficiency, culinary skills, or inspiration, you name it, Pinterest has something for you.  I confess, I am a pinning maniac!  I pin with my morning coffee, during commercial breaks, and when I can't sleep.  I am a pinaholic and I have no interest in rehab.
Sometimes I check in on Pinterest five times a day and sometimes I don't make it on at all, but when I am on, I see family and friends' pins.  (You all know how it works, and if you do not, you should!)  Not only do I see those pins, but I see pins from people I haven't seen in a while, even old friends from grade school.  I have feelings of camaraderie when I see that someone has repinned me, when I repin someone, or even when I see that we are pinning at the same time.  You see when someone has similar tastes, interests, or projects.  Somehow, I feel closer to them.
I guess some would see this as a false sense of togetherness, that technology does not replace interaction.  I get that, it's not a replacement, I like to look at it as a connection on a different level.  It is a tool that brings me a little closer to someone that I am distant from.
If you are not on Pinterest, I urge you to check it out.  It is a great tool!

Even though we are apart, Pinterest brings us closer.
(It sounds like a greeting card, LOL!)

Until Next Time,
