January 1st, 2016.
Today I'm grateful for my computer. More specifically Skype, Facebook, Messenger and now I have Instagram. I used to feel isolated from my family. I lived far away from everyone and much of the time I didn't have a phone. By far away, I mean that I was in a different country from the rest of my family. Even after my youngest brother moved to the States, he still lived a few states West of me. Spending time together meant travel to far away places which takes a lot of time and money. Now my children have homes of their own and children of their own and some live clear across the country, yet I feel close to them because of instruments such as Skype, Messenger, Facebook and Instagram. Every day I can have some contact with my children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces and nephews. I'm grateful for that. Reaching out to each other and being there is so much easier now. I don't feel isolated any more, I feel very much connected.
