WHO'S KIDDING?

Who's kidding?

My recent blog talked about the ups & downs of getting older. Note,I did not say "old". As part of that aging process I have kind of displayed little enthusiasm regarding the social media that is so prominent in our country these days.

I joined Facebook reluctantly at the urging of family and friends but, use the medium quite sparingly.

Perhaps it's a privacy thing or just frustration that I seldom get a complete look of the young people in my universe. It seems their attention is devoted to looking down at an object - not completely inanimate - with the object of determining if someone cared for them today.

That is - until I went online today at Facebook's suggestion and noted the number of people who via a memory refresher from that same source, in "some" cases - took the time to congratulate me on my 75th birthday and wish me well too.

So, okay, maybe Facebook isn't all bad. And, maybe there are some insecurities that extend across all age groups. Thanks.
