I just wished a happy birthday to a friend...the reply I got was a clikc by him to say he "liked" what I wrote..Instead of saying Thank you and I wish you and your family are well also...liked was my message.. the reason for that is when 30 people are wishing you a happy birthday it becomes a bit superficial and phony so you really don't have the energy to write a meaningful thank you to more dear friends..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567475060382733569.post-35383366739584015242011-08-22T14:55:55.912-04:002011-08-22T14:55:55.912-04:00@Anonymous - Very true! I love what you stated he...@Anonymous - Very true! I love what you stated here and it really pushes the "open your eyes and think more" concept. In difficult times, you do truly find out who your friends are and what family will stay or run. I can so relate with your friend that went through MS. I saw family and friends run, while I saw others step up the plate and help me out with unconditional love and acceptance. Thanks for sharing what you did because I could not agree more!Don Shetterly - Relaxing Piano Musichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10127640545301835657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567475060382733569.post-91094927352571829532011-08-22T14:44:37.001-04:002011-08-22T14:44:37.001-04:00WOW..the absolute truth and nothing but the truth....WOW..the absolute truth and nothing but the truth.. Sadly the way so many people communicate is in these superficial ways of connecting, whether it through texts,emails,facebooking, and other multitude ways. I really think people don't further their social skills and it is much easier to sit on a computer all day and click away, than to make and allow time to sit and call a friend..however, now the question is honestly how many people have true friends and how many people have dozens of acquaintances? To make friends, you have to be a friend...and this takes time, love and care. This reminds me of my girlfriend who has MS and when the time came she was immobile and could not drive, and used a wheelchair ...whom she thought friends dropped out of the scene slowly but surely..but, you know few of us who are still friends..were the real friends anyway..so, truly..do you have friends or do you have a fan club to read your facebook blogs? Something to think about.. eh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
