Even though I was tired and pained and foggy when I got up, I managed to get some actual work done today. A bit at a time. I cleaned around the windows, since the super is coming tomorrow to see about caulking them so I don’t freeze to death; I cleared out under the sink, put in some nice plastic-y shelf lining, and rearranged my tools and cleaning stuff under there; took out the stove drawer to retrieve my favorite skillet that had slipped behind, vacuumed there, finding also two cat toys, put the drawer back by myself, which I couldn’t do last time, and rearranged the skillet and baking pans; moved the box of videos away from the window where it was resting while I figure out where to put them; and I guess that’s about it. Had leftover Chinese food for breakfast and dinner. I do love leftover Chinese food. So all-in-all, I would say it was a good day, and I am happy.

Found this in an old post of a blog I’m checking out:

“If there are one or more people on your friends list who make your world a better place just because they exist, and who you would not have met (in real life or not) without the internet, then post this same sentence in your journal. There are too many to list; you know who you are.”

And from a reply to that post:

“……….But you know, everyone can’t live right next to me. Kindred spirits are friends no matter where they live geographically. The internets are just another way to bring us together.”

Having met one of my closest (in real life) friends through the internet, and one or two really special people who are/were strictly internet friends, I can say that having the internet has made my life that much richer and more fun. It also lets me keep in touch with people I love in real life, but who don’t live close enough for day-to-day interaction. What do you think, readers? Has the internet enriched your life, or no?
