Technology allows me to keep in touch with my BFFs!
Most of us have heard that people are losing their ability to connect with others. For some people this is not true at all. Technology allows us to be an email or phone call away!
Let me tell you about four friends that technology is keeping close. We are all southern ladies raised in intact families, with morals deeper than the Grand Canyon and just as lasting. We were raised to become fine, upstanding, Southern women who have weathered the test of time. Going to school, having careers, marriages, and families.
Gloria G. is my longest and oldest friend. We made mud pies together when we were kids, and dried them in the sun to feed to our dolls. We don’t get to see each other often, as she lives in Columbus, Ohio, and I live in San Diego, California. She is my go to friend when I need to talk with someone who will not judge me. She knows when to praise me or give me a kick in the pants.
Pat P. is another friend from my home town. I can remember looking out my kitchen window into her front yard. We had a friendly rivalry in school. We were always at the top of our class, but it did not bring out the kind of feelings that kids seem so have today. She came back into my life a few years ago and it was like she never left.
Next is my beautiful tall Cafe Au Lait colored, ex-cop sister-in-law Brenda B. She was one of the first African American police women in Greensboro, NC. Beauty, brains, and bravery in one package. That is not the best thing about her. She is the most giving person you will find anywhere. I thank God she is there to love and care for my brother. I love it when we talk on the computer. Best is when she makes comments about the crazy things we send back and forth. Sometimes we have to use the old landlines to get all of the details on a subject. Brenda you are my idol! And I want to be like you when I grow up even though I am your elder!!!
Last but not least, there is me. Want to know more about me? Go back and read my blog and check out the About Me page of this blog!
Technology keeps us close and in touch. Have you heard the phrase, “Can you hear me now”? Well with us it’s, ”I can reach out to you, my friends.”
