Like others on facebook, I have found friends from my childhood, high school and college years that I had lost touch. Messaging, commenting on posts & photos and even wishing them birthday greetings from a far has been fun. All seems a bit impersonal but with our busy lives... it is the friendship of our time. Yes, it is cool to be instantly connected to so many with a few strokes on a keyboard, however I have challenged myself to reach out to my friends with a more personal touch in the upcoming year with phone calls, handwritten notes or cards. So don't be afraid to answer my call! Today, an old friend reminded me of the importance of taking time to rekindle a friendship. Thanks Ruth!
I love FB for that! It is so great to hear from old friends, people that we may perhaps not ever get to see if we can't make the HS reunions. Its great to just keep up, however we can make it happen these days.
ReplyDeleteGreat story and picture. Ruth, you look great and you couldn't have picked a better classmate to connect with. She is a great friend!!!
ReplyDelete@Kendall-yes, you are correct, facebook is great for connecting with those we are not able to see on a regular basis, like you and I! LOL Appreciate you taking time to read my posts and comment. Look forward to reading your blog post soon. Hope our paths cross in the near future.
ReplyDelete@Lynda- you are to kind!
