A New Day

It's the new day that brings me back to a happy place...moving straight on 'til morning. It seems as time moves on, we don't want to lose touch or forget to keep track of people in our lives. The internet has proven to be a boon in this quest. Old school-mates have tracked me down and I them in the past 10 or so years. New friends (30 years or less...can you believe) are kept in the loop a lot easier. Friends met on various web-sites are on equal footing as those who cross our paths physically. Luckily, I have met some of those web-friends in person during my or their travels. People of all ages, incomes, races and life-styles have graced mine as they have yours. What is the human condition that makes us reach out to shake the hand and heart of strangers....to make them part of our lives? As we lose members of our families, we gather our friends closer. Maybe just to say, "You matter...."  ,and they say, " You matter, too."
