What I envy the most right now in my life it the people who I have met since moving here in Rochester that have been here forever. The ones who have established life long friendships. Who have immediate and extended family with in a few hours of here. Those are the lives that I envy.
Why you might ask? Well for the last 20 years of my life I have been the one living an exciting life, always on the go, traveling overseas life style. Now I'm in the process of settling down (if you will) and having to establish a more settled lifestyle. It's hard being the new kid on the block especially at my age. Not that I'm old.. but I'm older and I've had a lot of experiences than most.
I was a stay-at-home-mom for five of those years and getting involved was a lot easier. Now I work full time, take classes part time and transport kids to their activites. So establishing friendships have been rather difficult, not impossible, but difficult. It's a lonely season in my present life and that has been difficult to accept. Being busy is hard but I know in time I will have what all the other people around me have and that will be life long friendships. (I hope)
Provided I don't have to move again!!!!

Old school
I have a My Space page and a Facebook page but I never go on unless someone has posted something on my wall or to look at photos of family who live far away. It's nice to keep in touch that way but I don't have time to sit around and play farm animal game.
I don't have my Facebook open to the public to see but I do find it unnerving that there are ways for others to get into it if they want to. Security is a big deal especially when it comes to computers. I don't want to leave anything to chance that someone would cause harm to me or my family because I said the wrong thing on-line.
I spend very little time on the computer and don't have any interest in Blogging, Twittering, or Facebooking. Its impersonal and leaves you wondering if the person on the other end is really who they say they are.
I'm not that old but I am old school, meaning I still prefer to talk in person or over the phone. It's more personal and you're able to tell how the other person is feeling.
