A word about my blog .....

I'm using this blog to keep notes on my life and experiences, plus to keep track of my own recovery from a stroke (December 2006).

For those of you who were not aware, my brother, John, died on February 10, 2010. His remains were cremated and interred at Green Hills Memorial Park.

0120 my facebook challenge - hour 30

Wow! A whole day has passed and I don’t have the shakes.

It’s interesting. I don’t have a desire to send out stuff, but I do miss the contacts I made with friends from high school and college. I’ve realized that my only way of contacting them was through Facebook, as I didn’t store their email addresses and/or phone numbers elsewhere. Something to think about.

My friend, Debbie, made a point when she said that right after her friend died, she’d call the friend’s number, just to hear the voice reply on the message machine. We rely so much on e-mails and text messaging, that we forget about the advantages to verbal communication.

Excuse me, but I have some calls to make.
