Welcome 2009--Thursday Thoughftulness

The holidays are over, the tree is down, and it is back to "life" for our family. But, as promised I am back on for 2009.

I was thinking today how most families today are separated by miles. How lucky we are to have amazing modern technology to help keep us in touch. I often think about people who left their families to venture to our great country, knowing that they would never see the family members they left behind again in their lifetime. Thanks to the Internet we can see each other while we talk, and thanks to cell phones we can text and ask those quick questions and get immediate answers.

Today, my "Thursday Thoughtfulness" is to use our modern technologies for good. Send a quick text message to someone you haven't seen in a while. Let them know you still think about them often and miss them like crazy. Or maybe you could use the Internet to send a quick email with a short message and some updated pictures of your kids to someone, who might just be wondering how you are.

Another help--text your friends and family from the store when you see a great bargain for the week. If you wait till you get home, you will forget.
