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.

Enough Celebration, Let’s Get 2022 Going

January 2, 2022 Tony Burgess 2 Comments

We are beginning the first full week of 2022. The thing about a new year is the unknown. Sure, you can keep thinking about tomorrow, but it is a blend of daydreams and nightmares. In my corner of the world, the weather is trying to be all four seasons in one day. New Year’s Day was stormy, wet, and warm but winter weather is rumored for the beginning of this week. I am hoping work will start strong because that will set the tone for the year. Of course, we shall see what happens. It’s been good to have the new year’s celebrations on a weekend so the new year can get going in earnest on Monday morning. But let’s not rush Monday. No one wants that. The new year is just getting started, it’s time to get to living and working and all that jazz.
