My choice of social media is Facebook. Sometimes I think it’s just a good way to waste time. Then again, it allows me to keep track of friends, family and people I know who also subscribe. I take news items with a grain of salt and check them with another source.
Through the years, folks have entered and left my life. Social media has given me a chance to reconnect with some of those people that I knew along the way but for various reasons, we drifted apart. Others, I have met for a brief period while we attended an event. I would love to meet them for a cup of coffee or lunch but we live too far apart for that to happen.
I never agree with any of my friends on everything, which I think would be boring. I know each of us probably won’t change our opinions. When I disagree with a viewpoint someone expresses, I consider their viewpoint and just move on. I see no point in arguing on Facebook.
Sometimes it allows me to start my day with a good laugh.
I can keep track of current news such as strawberry season with the farms’ Facebook pages. When the fields I patronize are thirty or more miles away, this saves me making unnecessary trips such as alerting me that one is sold out of ready-picked berries by 9:00 a.m.
The pictures keep me up-to-date on what people currently look like. I tend to expect everyone to continue to look the same as the last time I saw them. I’d never imagine the little boy who use to live next door as a middle-aged man with a beard.
It’s been surprising how many people have the same name even when I think it’s not that common. I’ve had to check several entries to find the person I know. A lot of the women include both their single and married name so that makes it easier to find old girlfriends.
