Elaine’s Place

I met so many nice people since I landed in the online world of computing. I could go on and on about my start but that will have to be for another blog. I have lost count of those I’ve encountered along the way. My darling husband was discovered there and I’m so pleased I found him. The great thing about having online friends is that you never quite know what surprise might be waiting for you in this vast area of “online”… and it was the same this morning. I woke up, made my coffee, along with other little chores and then settled in…and there it was…

I found this award that Mary took the time to think of me when she was carefully giving such a lovely award. What better compliment could someone receive when they outwardly claim that you are “nice”… (See Mary’s Blog).

Think of the number of times someone has done something special one of your online friends have done for you. I consider my online friends as special as my offline friends.

It is so easy put a foot wrong online. Afterall, you can’t see the person and you are relatively safe from consequences of your actions. I learned early on that the person on the other side of the monitor has thoughts and feelings just like me and after making that discovery, I have tried so hard to treat others as I want to be treated and that applies online as well as offline.

I hope I really am worthy of this award because it really is true here in the Internet world…nice does matter! Thanks Mary for the reminder and being so nice yourself!
