Okay, I'm gonna make this quick.
Real quick.....sorta.
...and it's not gonna be pretty (meaning grammatically correct).
I just gotta say that I love me some Internet! I know it is a major time sucker, but I just spent a lovely afternoon instant messaging (on Facebook) my childhood friend, while both our toddlers were doing whatever around us...and it was fabulous!
And I love that I can follow the sister of one of my other friends, who has HER own blog, and whom I think is an amazing chic, but we've never spent any actual time together (although I somehow remember being at her wedding, I think).
We live in a totally convoluted world, right? but along with all the detritus that is thrown around on the Internet, there are good things! Social networking works for me...haha. I love being able to send a quick note to anyone, and usually get an answer right away. I love clicking on people's links. I love "sharing" coupon codes on Facebook, I'll admit it. I've followed recipes, too.
Let's be honest, or at least, let ME admit this, and you can agree (or not). Facebook, for all its evils, makes me feel less alone. It allows me to lift up friends who need it; it lets me join in on sharing sympathies, joys, and life celebrations. I really, truly, LOVE some people whom without Facebook, I wouldn't be able to "talk to" very often.
Plus I like looking at silly pictures of acquaintances' children or animals doing stupid things...sometimes...and being able to skip it when I don't wanna deal. Regardless, it makes me smile. I enjoy praying for people who ask for it, and being prayed for when I need it, too. Think of all those opportunities to spread the love, people!
We are meant to live in community with each other, and I just wanna say: Yeah, Internet!
A huge thank you to allllll my friends on the computer who give me encouragement and love over cyberspace. I appreciate your time, your energies, and watching what makes "news" in YOUR lives!
God bless all of you, and happy October!
