Social Christmas

Just like going to a party you have never been to before...alone, your first foray into online social networking can be intimidating. We have all had experiences that were scary at first but then once we learned more about them, we became more comfortable with them. However, there are always those who you would prefer to spend time with...and those you would not. The same applies online.

Sometimes we can't go visit someone at a certain time due to weather, health reasons or other. Sure a phone call is nice. If something really interesting happens to me, I can share a pictures or video of the it knowing that many people would like to have a "copy" or simply be included. Online social options give us these opportunities.

Seasonal affective disorder (S.A.D) is a serious problem that affects many people during the winter months. One of the reasons is the sense of isolation we experience through this time. It is a proven fact that people who are more "social" live healthier, happier lives.

Often, when the physical ability to go out into your community is diminished it can have a major affect on the quality of ones life. This can happen due to environmental conditions as well as personal health issues.
