Unexpected surprises

Once again, out of the blue, the Internet has provided me a surprise -- a new friend.  Quite unexpectedly, and on a whim, I messaged someone online and he was not only responsive, but turned out to have a lot in common with me.  Just when I was feeling pretty low about so many things in my world, the Internet gave me an early Christmas present.

Now I am not trying to say that this will turn my life around and make right all the wrongs, but it is far better than turning to drinking, drugs, or any of my normal vices.  It is reassuring that there are still nice, kind and gentle people out there in the world and I have to give my kudos to the Internet for once again connecting me to them.

Should it surprise me really that the Internet helps me in such ways?  The Internet is really an introvert's best friend, since we can be connected to any one, any time, any place.  For introvert's it is a way to be part of the outside world without leaving our comfort zone.  God bless us, everyone!
