Hello?...it's a long while since I've been here...I seem to have got lost in Myspace, forums and Facebook...not a bad thing, I say, as I have met a good number of people and friends, old and new.

 

Isn't it funny how you can not see someone for 10 years and a conversation seems like it was yesterday that you talked last? On the other hand, some friends pop back into your life for a second...'Hi! It's been a while! I'm still alive...are you?'...and are gone again for another 10 years. All is good though, that quick check in, the rekindled friendships...and of course the new ones....that never feel that new really, that feel comfortable and mature.

 

Is it as we grow older, friendships are easier to start? I feel I have a personal sense of comfort and, dare I say it, I am becoming more mature...see I couldn't say 'I am...'!!! Close enough though. Maybe that's why it seems easier...or I can recognise kindred spirits and dismiss ones that aren't more readily? Or is it a trust issue, I have learnt to trust strangers?...Nope, that doesn't sit right!!!

 

Hovering over all this 'as time goes by' talk is the fact that if I couldn't sit infront of modern technology...none of these friends would have been found. So...hooray for the tinternet and all it's programmable wisdom!!!
