A long, lost relative of mine contacted me a couple of days ago and he found me through this blog. Is that just too neat? I have not seen my cousin since our early childhood days. I didn't even know he had so many siblings. We have exchanged pictures and it is so wonderful to see him and his family after all these years.
Blogs, Face Book and Twitter are exceptional avenues to re-establish long, lost friends and relatives. No telling how many others I could find or they find me if I were to get connected with other social media groups.
There are so many that are still very skeptical about the internet. They are afraid that their identities are going to be stolen. I met a middle aged woman today while waiting to have an alignment and tires rotated on my car. Her husband died 7 years ago and she has had to learn all the things he used to take card of, like having the oil changed in the cars. I told her that I worked the internet and she told me quite directly that she wanted nothing to do with it. I explained that she might not have a choice in the very near future.
I know there is bad and good in everything we participate in, but I choose to look for the good in everything so I can get the most out of it. I am looking forward to building stronger relationships with my lost cousins and maybe with their children and grandchildren. I hope you are rediscovering lost friends and relatives as well. If so, I would love to know who and how you made the connect.
For my loyal readers I want to share with you the passing of my mother on the 10th of this month. She had been in a nursing home for a year and there was no getting better for her. I am happy to know that she is now free from that imprisonment and we can begin to remember all the good things about her and her life. Some of you knew about this and I thank you again for your thoughts and prayers for our family. May God bless you richly!
Friends 4 life!
