The rules of friendship have changed. Online friends are just as important as “in person” friendships. There are people I have encountered over the years who have become good friends and we may never meet face-to-face. But those long distance friendships are important.

This crazy world has revealed that we need people in our lives who we can identify with and to make connections. Social networking has made making friends easier. Of course cat fishing and other traps are an unfortunate reality. Using your best judgement is advisable.

Long time local friendships matter and sometimes those become online relationships.

I am grateful to have all these wacky people in my life and I hope I am worthy of your friendships.

Thank you for being a friend.
