When everyone was jumping on the Facebook and MySpace bandwagons, I was slow to catch up.  Part of me felt I was just too old to be maintaining a website about my life, interests, etc.  But, as time wore on, a growing number of my friends were getting Facebook pages, and some of them were even older than me! So I decided to give it a try. I'm not on it all that much, and sometimes I only check in a couple of times a week. But since I've started my Facebook page, I do have to say, I've reconnected with people I'd lost touch with for years!

It's fun to be typing along at work one day when a message comes up that says a new friend has "added me" to their Facebook page. It's even more fun when that friend is someone from college who I haven't spoken with in ages.  Since there's a place to put pictures on the page, I am often able to see what their husbands, wives and kids look like, and find out what direction their career has taken them.  We don't often spill our guts and talk about the biggest issues in our lives these days, but it is a light, happy way to recall good times in the past, and see how far we've come.

I often wonder what my college years would've been like if Facebook and MySpace would've been around back then.  It was such a different world. Very few of us had cell phones...and if we did...they were giant.  We used computers to type out term papers, and that's about it.  There certainly wasn't an easy way to stay connected through something like Facebook.  At least some of those in my class are able to use it now as "grown-ups".  Proving, it's better late than never...and perhaps you're never too old for Facebook.
