thank you to everyone who gave me awards today! for some reason, I got a few today! I will respond to those tonight! I am in all day meetings today (Friday) and won't be able to get on the computer! I wish you all a FABULOUS FRIDAY!
Day 19-Something you Miss
We all know that I miss my Sweeter and that I can talk about this all day long until I am blue in the face and the sun goes down...so I will do my best to talk about something else :-)
So....something I miss....hmmm, this is a tough question...{and, yes, I am going to take this in a literal way :-)}
I miss how simple life used to be before we got all caught up in technology. Don't get me wrong, I do believe that life is made easier with computers and phones to keep in touch with everyone and the knowledge that it is at our fingertips, wow- I mean, WOW, our world has come so far!
We valued different things and we made different choices and efforts. We trusted our minds, brains and hearts. Today with the click of a button and a few types on the keyboard, we are paying our bills, checking our credit scores, shopping on-line and keeping in touch with faraway friends.
How incredible is it that we don't even have to leave our computer monitor to order groceries...what happened to going outside and getting some fresh air-oh that's right, we have all grown lazy...I know I am :-) {that said, I have never bought groceries on-line :-)}
Whatever happened to reading a book, the smell of it, the weight of it in your hand? That isn't important anymore, now we google it and we read our books on Kindles, iPods and Computers!
Don't even get my started on phones! Whatever happened to picking up your landline and calling your friend...don't you remember twirling the phone cord between your fingers?! I miss that! Now we don't even call...we text! Pick up a pen and paper and write a letter...I know that it makes my day every time I get letter mail-and NO, it is not the same as email!
We don't even have to go outside to exercise....Wii has come up with this WiiFit game that is supposed to be the equivalent of a work out...really?! Come on! Kids at school aren't required to do P.E. anymore...those classes have been replaced by computer and technology classes.
I miss that life used to be so much more simple!
Note: Don't get me wrong...I don't think that my life would be the same without my computer or my phone {granted, I don't have internet on my phone} I can't even begin to tell you how much having the internet has saved me! I have the opportunity to email with my Sweeter and get instant replies instead of having to wait weeks, sometimes months to hear back {I must say, that he sends me love letters in the mail and it always makes my entire week! There is just something about the fact that he touched that paper-it is amazing!}
Wow, who knew I had it in me to write such a rant :-) haha I swear...I am not really that mad :-)
