@Sweet Kitties Social media has changed our world. In many ways of course for the best--in other ways in my opinion not for the good of humans and interactions in real life.

Texting in lieu of phoning and face etc., filters plus competition online making so many feel bad about themselves esp. with younger people and even older too. A fact.

I got off Facebook a year after my son died or less and signed into Instagram only to see the same kind of thing.But fun things as well. It's hard for some of us however. I like message boards, but then there can be snarkinesss (you see - it we all see it). But I feel like you do as you say getting roped into social media taking up so much time in our lives...quality time in real life. I'm not hooked on my phone. I like my iPad and laptop...can see so much better in detail too. I'm to blame as well with not calling people back and much has to do with watching qvc and online qvc and of course just reading things as we all do online however I'm depressed to a certain degree most of the time due to that life event I mentioned.

I'm sure many here may have had their life altered as well.

This was why I put a hold on FB and other places. I think these boards can be quite healthy and helpful for us, finding friends and people like ourselves can relate too. As long as we are are respected it's all good - at times I have trepidation posting on a subject  guess "I gotta grow some" as they say lol. I use to be on here so very often and it was fun meeting so many nice funny people. We even went off to start FB page and then I lost my way around here after I left FB later. So many good people. I will try to pop on here more often. It's just not a regular thing anymore. Nothing really is.

Wish it was.

And must get back to you @Monikamm soon. I'm sorry for not getting back. Never got my knee done... can't believe it! Long story... too long in fact..my other parts are falling apart meanwhile--ugh! Have a good weekend all I had to come by to edit this dissertation! lol. Too long and typing when my shoulder aches so doesn't help my errors.

   Nicky - Your Mom obviously still misses you,  loves you, thinks of you, says Hi to you. 

You are an amazing person.      Amen.

@JoyFilled Warrior  omgosh thank you so much!. I know need more socialization these days, I just do, and even if not on here too much I just must be connected as once before to stay in the loop of life!. Have a nice weekend.

@JoyFilled WarriorTears that you did this beautiful gesture here. Speechelss but filled with love in my heart now before bed. I felt like a mom again just now, it's hard to get that feeling these days. I will be saying postive self talk that I'm still that a mom I'm just not an 'acting' one on Earth.

Your beloved son may have moved on to a Higher Calling, but he's aware that you are here in the meantime, as beloved Mom, Sister & Friend to yourself,  & to all of us still here, until our own royal voyage to the yonder!
