Angela had emergency gall bladder surgery; I could take her a loaf of bread.
Anita is no longer with her spouse; I could avoid saying something really stupid - maybe.
Lauralee and I made contact after many years of not being in touch.
Diana was up all night with her baby; I could take her something just for HER.
Christie got into a highly competitive phd program; I could see her at church and congratulate her.
Mike finally got a job; I could let him know how excited I was for him after many months of searching.
Gardner was thinking of moving to St George; I would have a nephew nearby to babysit kids and invite over often.
Bonnie has cancer; her link is posted on Facebook and I can keep up with her prognosis.
I see pictures of former friends, new babies, neighborhood events, my own family.
I read news that I would not ever know about.
So, yes, perhaps it can be a time waster.
BUT, it can also be a marvelous TOOL to stay connected to people I love, admire, like, respect, and wish to know about.
And, that is why I'm glad there is FACEBOOK.
