Yes, I can actually remember life before PC’s, Mac’s or smart
phones. I spent most of my college and grad days typing on this ancient Smith
Corona Typewriter. Relationships were based upon actual conversation instead of
this text or messaging world that dominates. I was taken back that one of my
more intelligent teen gals actually had a long-distance relationship with a guy
that she had never met face to face. I couldn’t imagine how you could truly
know this person and forget talking about being close to your BF or GF?
It’s always humbling for me to admit that I don’t have
perfect eye sight, not bad but wearing by glasses especially at night means
that I actually can read the various street signs instead of faking it or
reading the signs as I pass them. Why would anyone not want to have great eye
sight and be able to see the incredible sunsets or the Grand Canyon or my
favorite place Yosemite and Half Dome?
It’s amazing what you can see when you open your eyes and
put your iPhone in your pocket. I confess to the fact that it’s too easy to
even drive with your phone stuck on your dash and still be distracted when driving. I will never forget how my dad’s eye sight
improved greatly after his cataract surgery. He made the comment that he could
now actually read his newspaper instead of just looking at the pictures. Sadly.
too often I have self-imposed cataracts that blind me from seeing the beauty of
life because of my fixation with my phone looking at updates.
Maybe it’s time to put down the phone, turn off the radio,
TV or video device and have an actual conversation with the one you love for
the best Valentine gift possible!!
