Dirty little secret...

Hello blogspot, my love, its been a long time. I have neglected you and I feel I owe you an explanation. A have a confession to make; a dirty little secret to share. About six weeks ago I was introduced to something called “facebook”. It was shiny and global and a billion people strong. It promised to connect me to friends from the past and family near and far. It sucked me in. Every time I logged onto the computer ready to down load and post photos and update you on the happening in my family’s life I would be distracted by a “friend request” or an e-mail from someone who had just been a memory. There was never time to get to you both and I fell out of touch. While “facebook” did deliver the opportunity to connect to a host of people, I started to miss the intimacy that we share. The feeling of really being invited into the lives of my family and friends to hear about the big events in their lives along with the little tid bits that make up the day to day. I have also missed the opportunity to record and share the happenings of my own family’s life. I was dazzled by the high tech fast paced world of facebook but it left me hollow. So I am back now, a little older, a little wiser, and happy to be home.
