It's Been Awhile

It’s been awhile since I wrote more than 140 characters. You see, some time back, I decided to blog, join Facebook and Twitter. I envisioned blogging every day with occasional visits to Facebook and Twitter but to my surprise, I took to Twitter like a duck to water; I think I’ve even become addicted since I check it out on my iphone when lying in bed.

My Twitter use really took off during the last federal election campaign. Finding who to follow, instant information from newspapers and blogs I would never have found on my own and reading people’s personal opinions added an exciting dimension to the election. I enjoyed it all even when the election results were not what I wanted.

I’ve always enjoyed the latest technology and can remember when I bought our first computer and was not even sure what I was supposed to do to make it work.  I remember our first VCR and how excited we were to have it now we can watch movies online. I remember buying Nintendo for my girls and how excited they were.  I love playing Wii games when I visit my daughter Sharon and her husband Mark. 

I love social media. It’s an excellent way to stay connected and young at heart if not in body. It’s nice to be aware of what others are talking about when words like Twitter, iphone and Facebook are mentioned Life is moving rapidly and we need to keep up or be left by the wayside wondering what the heck happened.

Will keep you posted.
