The other day I found that a comment I wrote on May 17 about the Internet had awarded me the button below. The writing prompt was: "Reflect on how the Internet has changed relationships, and whether the net effect is positive or negative."
Click on the button to read my entry as well as all the others!
And in case the button goes on strike some day, or whatever, here is a copy of my "winning" entry:
Nine years ago, an accident turned my life upside down. Not only did I have to stop working, I also had to make a lot of changes in my private social life. Since I can no longer "keep the same pace" or do the same things as many of my old friends, I have lost contact with a lot of them. But through the internet, I have found new friends, new interests, and new and different ways to keep up my some of my old interests, too. One good thing about the internet is that one does not necessarily need to be online at the same time to be able to have a meaningful discussion. In forums and blogs, you can "take your time" and still feel you are communicating with other people.

Way to go!
Hi there! congratulations on the One Minute Writer award! What did happen if you don't mind my being so nosey?
Since we left on vacation 5/07, I've kind of taken a break from blogging. I'm back now. I like your new template. I'm still not sure about my WomenofCertainAge template. It will do for now. I was testing them out. This one is very clean and nice.
