Small World

Tonight I lye in bed unable to sleep and as you do when u cant sleep you think.As I was lying there thinking wow what a small world especially with the internet age. Some months back I decided to take a look at this facebook thing I had heard so much about, well to my suprise my friends list started to grow some being newer friends I have made here in Geelong others being long lost school friends and acquaintances some of which I didn't even know I existed and family members of friends.
I came across an old mates father Alen Sentence and we started chatting after not seeing each other for about 15 yrs we chatted about life and where we were at and what we were up and where we wanted to go as you do. To my suprise we had a lot of common goals and interests.
He invited me to join this internet class he is doing I wasn't quiet sure what it was about but went a long and joined the class and at first I wasn't really sure if it was for me.It is now going into the third week of classes and am amazed at how much I have learnt and even more amazed at how far Allen has come considering 12 months ago he hadn't even used the internet on a regular basis and have also met some wonderful new people.
That has inspired me even further to pursue the classes and my other interests to reach my goals. He has also introduced me to a couple of organizations that help disadvantaged children in poverty stricken countries which has always been a passion of mine but never new how I could help.
Allen has also helped me believe in myself again with his kind words and encouragement as I have been a little lost for a long time. So what a small world it is today with the aid of the internet and its endless possibilities.
Thank you Allen you came into my life at a time that was perfect and you have shown me anything is possible and for that you have a special place in my life and I hope that never changes and that goes for the rest of the Sentence family thank you again....:)
