I use MSN Messenger and I log in under randall_friesen AT hotmail DOT com. Lately it´s helped add a new dimension to my connection with my family as we have got my mom and dad using it.
They will message me with a question or a short chat. It´s great because it feels like the other person is closer than they might physically be.
I realized how good this has been, last night.
Usually when I´m done checking my email, before bed, I check if anyone still has their MSN on. Last night I clicked on my daughter, Johanna, and said nite. Then I sent a good night to my dad, and my brother and my sister. Johanna was the one who was at her computer and she responded.
It´s kinda like ?The Waltons.? Remember? ?Good night mama, good night Johnboy, good night grampa, good night Mary Ellen...?
Sometimes it´s good to disconnect, for quiet and stillness. But sometimes it´s just good to be a click away.
It can be a comfort.
G'nite Randall-Bob. Love that show. :)
ReplyDeleteI often "blame" the Waltons for our four sons as it were. And the seven and a bit grandchildren! Great show. Goodnight Randall. Freda
