I have been attempting to navigate Facebook for a month or so, and I am absolutely amazed by the power of this technology. I have connected with friends that I have not seen since high school more than 40 years ago.
This experience has been a powerful reminder to me that we all are on this journey together. We may choose different paths, but we travel together through this thing called "Life". Often, we choose a path much lonelier than it needs to be. I know that I have. Finally, after stumbling around for the better part of six decades trying to "get ahead", I discovered that the relationships that we create with others are what really matter.
There has been a lot of controversy recently surrounding Facebook and other social websites, and while it is true that there are those who would use this technology for evil purposes, I remain grateful for the opportunity it has afforded me to connect with others who have been out of my life for way too long.
So to those with whom I recently have re-connected, I say, "Thank you for once more becoming a part of my life."
