Blog friends

I am one happy camper.

I have been blessed during all of our moving around to make many great friends.
I don't feel it has ever been an issue.

Heavenly Father in all of his love and kindness has provided me with a pretty good ability to make friends.

And I love my friends, all of them.

Well, now I am making friends in other states without having to move there.

They are my blog friends.

If you are unfamiliar with this term, it generally means you have somehow stumbled across someone's blog, or they have come across yours. You start leaving comments for eachother because you feel a certain connection after viewing their blog.

Pretty soon, you say, "oh yay, Marci left a comment", or I wonder what Nita is up to.

It's a whole new world of friendship for me, and I'm enjoying it.

There are some down sides to it, of course.

The biggest being that you find yourself concerned for their welfare, crying at their sorrows, finding joy in their joy-and yet you can't physically give them a hug or bake them cookies.

But I am thankful for all of my friends, those I have met and those I have not.

And once I can figure out how to send cookies across the country, there will be one less downside to the wonderful world of Blog Friends.
