Facebook (vs blogging)

I haven't posted on here in a while, as I tend to get my online fix from Facebook. I had looked to the blogosphere for some interaction, and that need/want is filled much better on Facebook. I still miss the writing part of blogging, and would like to do more of that. I have no idea if I will blog regularly, but I may blog just to write from time to time.

On my mind now is the Facebook phenomenon. I am loving it, as I have found so many friends that I had no way to contact. Some of them, I had thought if finding, but had no idea where to start. Some of them, I had actually tried to find, to no avail. Now, they're coming out of the woodwork! I have even "met" some new cousins and other relatives, as they marry into the family. I'm looking forward to meeting them in person at the family reunion coming up later this summer.

My last blog entry was on the death of an acquaintance from Flagstaff AZ where I used to live. I was rather surprised and saddened to hear of his passing, and needed to get my feelings sorted out. I took the post down (see previous post) with the intent of posting it again later, as a sort of tribute to this good man. I looked at it just now, and have decided it's too personal to post. Still, it helped me put my thoughts in order and sort out my feelings. You can't get that on Facebook. Not really.

I still like to write, though, so I will keep my toe in this pool too. For those of you who have read my blog (all 4 of you), feel free to add me on Facebook (just let me know your real name, so I don't delete the invite!).

Thanks to Facebook and Churl for the use of the pics.
