Well it was a long, cold, snowy winter. Happily it's all gone and spring is here at last.
During the winter months I had lots of time to surf the web and happily reconnect with some old friends on Facebook. I love the idea that I can sign on to a social networking sight and find old school mates, friends and relatives and reconnect.
I went to a very small church based junior college , there were on average about 120 of us all together. When there are that few people all living on a small campus, eating meals together , taking classes together, spending free time together a special bond is formed. Over the years I've managed to stay in touch with a few people but I had lost touch with many. It has been a great pleasure to "remeet" my old friends and see where their lives have taken them and to share memories of a time when life was much simpler ( even though at the time we may not have thought so). I've also reconnected with some high school class mates and some young people that I knew when they were in high school and I was helping out at the music department of their school. Again it's been a pleasure to see where their lives have taken them and to see if they ended up they way I thought they would when they were so young and talented and smart.
So, winter may have been long and irritating but it also gave me the chance to spend some time walking down memory lane, enjoying news about the present lives of my friends and hopefully the opportunity to keep in touch and not let so much time go by between chats.
