hello my friends!!! anyone else have cabin fever besides me?? LOL so i was helping my mom do her laps around the hospital hallways yesturday-one of the rare occaisions i got to go there, thank god for my sister's who have been able to pick up my slack-and i asked her for some wisdom. i mean i know things change, but when i was growing up the neighbors stopped in daily for coffee, we went camping together on every summer holiday until i graduated from highschool, there were block parties, and poker nights...we don't have any of that now. hell i barely know my neighbors. the only way i even know if the old man next door is alive is if he puts his garbage out on thursdays!! LOL!! so my mom pointed out to me that back then not only did they not have the technology we have today, i.e. cell phones and internet, but most of the women didn't work, so they could stay home and socialize during the day as they took care of the home and the kids. they formed bonds. we don't really have that luxery anymore, most of us anyway-and believe me, i feel it. oh i have friends...good friends. dear friends, that i love. but we aren't connected like they were because they didn't have texting and email. they had coffee, they did the shopping together, and camping trips...and bake sales...lord, remember those??
we cross our bridges when we come to them, and burn them behind us. with nothing to show for our progress, except the memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered. (tom stoppard)
until next time....safe journey.
