I am finally on Facebook

Having recieved several invitations to join Facebook -- even my old lady friends are doing it now -- I finally gave in and am learning how to communicate using one more new method. I forget to proofread before hitting post, so I probably sound somewhat illiterate.

All of this stuff is really amazing to me. I logged on to the site and immediately had pictures of a good friend's mom and daughters and granddaughters cruise. Envy would be an understatement.

I found current pictures of another old friend whom I hadn't seen since college and learned that she looks very much like her mother did back in those days. My postings won't be nearly as interesting until I buy myself a new digital camera. I got Alex one for Christmas, but I feel guilty when I use it (it was, after all, a present) and mine is so old that it really isn't working well anymore.

Lesley's friend, Starr, posts wonderful pictures on her blog. She has three darling children and Britain to help her make things interesting. Of course, I have darling cats and the park next to our house is lovely -- not Britain, but lovely.

I had though blogging would stir up my creativity. I'm not sure it is doing that, but all of this computer stuff is bound to help keep the brain cells alive just a bit longer. That or teach me a few new four-letter words.

I'm flattered to get a mention. I often find myself wishing I had a much better camera because there are so many beautiful panoramas that I can't capture the spirit of.

I also understand the FB envy issue. I have picture-envy of those bloggers with stylish & stylized images to share with the world. I've been trying to remind myself a lot lately that my experiences are just as valuable, that my life is just as valuable, even if it isn't as pretty (or as Photoshopped).
