How Thoughtful Are You?

The day is Sunday. I have nothing to write about but to check on how many of my more than 3 thousand Facebook friends would be thoughtful enough to greet me hello and in return I would reply them "God bless... :)".

Out of those who responded, 158 manifested their "likes" and 74 posted their "Hello" comments.

I know those friends of mine, some of them are offline. Some were preoccupied and some of them merely ignored it. I do understand their situation. This is only to test who are those of my friend especially in the Facebook who do take a little time to make me feel I do belong and I have a part on their lives.

Friends, Your Thoughtfulness Makes Me Happy!

I remember some of the following lines from a song popularized by Stevie Wonder, that run this way: "For good times and bad times/ I'll be on your side forever more/ That's what friends are for..."

This is the kind of feeling I have had when I celebrated my 62nd birthday together with my wife. I was really convinced that I got a lot of friends, acquaintances and even my kins, closed and distant relatives are on the alert of expressing their simple, traditional birthday greetings. Their thoughtfulness has made me happy and felt me comfortable on how I relate my humble self to them as their friend too.

Through a modern technology like a social media, the Facebook, everyone finds it easy to relay his or her greetings. Gratefully I will never ever forget them. I have listed their names here as an expression of gratitude for their invaluable friendship.
