It's been flurries mixed with intense bright sun today. I think I'm ready to move north. Can't winter last just a few more months? Not this spring business with the mud and trash, but winter with it's piled high snow and chilly days that you dress properly for. I really don't care much for spring, it runs two perfectly good seasons by mixing them together the wrong way, unlike fall, it mixes them up quite well.
People are moving more and more. When I was a youngster, it was a rare instance for a friend to move away. Now it's me that moves away. We've moved a lot, especially when we first got married. It was something like five addresses and three states in the first four years of our marriage. We've slowed down a bit. In the midst of all that moving, we've made some friends along the way. I try to keep an open line in case of times of grief and celebration. One of the best tools I've found for keeping in touch with loved ones far away is Facebook. As much time as I could spend doing other things instead of checking it, it's the best thing I've found. It allows me to communicate with others, without having to call. I know calling is amazing, hearing people's voices, but for introverts, there are no body language clues for us to pick up on that help make our conversations easier. It's also why we prefer to video chat :-) Back to Facebook, some etiquette.
