When I first joined Facebook about a year ago, I would have been voted "Oldest Person on Facebook". Now I am happy to say, many of my friends and colleagues have also signed up and I love it.
I get lots of raised eyebrows when I tell people I'm on Facebook or when I admit to folks that I reconnected with an old friend on Facebook. The thing is that I don't regret it one moment. It is a great way to stay in touch with many, many people all at once.
There are so many people in my life that I adore but due to all of our busy schedules we have a hard time keeping in touch. There's not enough time to pick up the phone or compose lengthly emails. On Facebook , we are able to have brief conversations or see updated pictures of our kids or just laugh at each other.
Basically, Facebook makes me feel in touch vs. out of touch with friends, family and coworkers. I am so thankful to have this tool to keep great people as a part of my life and stay apart of theirs.
