The Magic of Facebook

My very dear friend Carole had been gently urging me to sign up on Facebook since October of last year and last month I reluctantly agreed, vowing never to get too immersed in the Facebook phenomena.

But today I grudgingly confess – I am hooked! I smile each time I get a friend request, and I am given an opportunity to reconnect with friends from high school, primary school, all over the world. It brings me such joy to see photos of my former schoolmates and their families (children, husbands and others). Through their smiles, I can see the joy they are currently living. How wonderful technology is when used with the respect that it is intended to be used.

For me, today is a celebration of friendships.

Here's to Facebook. Here's to friends.
