The Joy of Friendship

Today I got to meet up with some of my old friends from college, most of whom live in the same town as I though we never get together. How great it is to remember that real friendship is not bound by time passed nor proximity. I love that deep sense of personal history that comes back when seeing friends after a long while. It's a reminder of a life full of blessings - in every stage - and the impact that each friendship has had in strengthening my character, helping make me all that I am in this present time. Thank you, to all of my friends who have always (and still do) make my life so very, very rich!

Amy Blair Merkle's Facebook profile

Caught in the Web

I was recently invited to join Facebook; and it didn't take me long to wonder how I ever lived my life without belonging to this amazing website! I have been in touch with old friends who I never thought I'd be able to find - some who now, literally, live on the other side of the world. Being on Facebook is like having all your favorite people right on your computer all the time, just waiting for you to share your day with them. Sometimes my internet goes out, and I declare my hatred of computers. Sometimes I have a deadline for a lovely customer and my printer goes on the fritz; and I declare my hatred of computers. Sometimes my files get corrupted for an unknown reason, and I declare my hatred of computers. But really and truly, I don't hate computers; they allow marvelous opportunities for me to be in touch with you...and I love that.
