In days of yesteryear, families stayed
in the same neck of the woods for
decades, if not centuries . . . tight knit
groups of relatives and friends.
In today's world, families are states
and sometimes nations, apart. We tend
to stay in touch via family reunions,
x-mas letters and the odd visit. But,
that close knit contact from days of
yore is no longer the case.
I look back at the different methods
of staying in touch. We used to write
long-hand letters and now we text.
Sweet packages in the mail have been
replaced by gift cards. Greeting cards
have evolved into e-cards.
I can appreciate, even like, the quick
and dirty of today's communications.
Still, my heart longs for real contact,
real hugs and kisses, real presents.
Speaking of real, think I'll go micro
wave some leftover Chinese, open a
bottle of water and take my vitamins.
Wouldn't it just be easier to take a few
pills rather than do all that cooking?
