Connecting

I love Instant Messaging. It lets me connect with exchange students we have hosted through the past years, and helps me keep in touch with my siblings and parents who are scattered throughout the country. I can also chat with the Romanian lady who helped us adopt our daughter from Romania.

I hope I'm as good about communicating with those in my immediate surroundings--sending them real hugs and smiles, not just cyber ones. Before I know it, they'll be gone and maybe I'll only be able to commuicate with them frequently in cyberspace.
