Facebook Got A Facelift!

     Young people today enjoy change.  They color and cut their hair, tattoo their bodies, and upgrade and purchase the newest electronic toy created
for their total enjoyment, so it is no wonder that the facelift or change facebook made just a week ago didn't at all phase them.  They didn't even notice.  But then again why would they, they no nothing of gray hairs or wrinkles.

     Those of us who have entered the gray hair age, on the other hand, completely freaked when we opened our facebook page.  OMG where is my profile page, or the photo albums I created (which only took four hours to upload five pictures), who's on chat, I'll never know or never find them, and
do I really want everyone to know my every detail or as they call it "story"? 

     I immediately text my daughters, who no longer talk by telephone, to see how they are coping with these outrageous changes and they only laugh at my fright and confusion.  They already are just chatting away as if nothing changed at all and can't understand why I am making such a fuss!

     We tuned into the news to hear how we could change it back, only to find out how to remove a small corner space of small talk.  The change was here to stay and if we wanted to keep in touch with our friends we needed to accept the change and start to navigate the system.

      Funny, I'm getting quite used to it now, like some wrinkles that will never go away no matter what cream I use. 

     Change and aging go hand in hand.  Mark Twain said it best, "Age is an issue of mind over matter.  If you don't mind it doesn't matter!  I'll drink to that!  "HB!"
