Monday

I am sitting here thinking about what I can blog about today.  Don't have a lot on my mind.  I am reading a book right now that has my interest and so most of my time is spent with reading.  In this book there is a lot of the main character thinking about things and about his past etc.  I was kind of taken by some of the things he was thinking about life today.  It was so true and sad but got me to thinking.  He was in a car driving..kind of alone in a steel box.  Thinking about how people use cell phones so much to text and not talk to people and drive their cars with their music going into an ear bud and not talking to people.  We are so solitary anymore in our interests if you think about it.  I pods, I pads, cell phones, computers, cars (driving alone), game stations, just to name a few.  I am not even good at naming everything available because I am not quite as "with it" as most people now days.  I remember when you really knew your neighbors and sat on a porch and visited.  Now you don't even see your neighbors unless it is the time of year when you are out mowing the lawn.  You have patio's and decks and usually behind your house behind a fence and with only invited friends.  Lots of changes over the years some good some even great, but a lot of wonderful things lost.  Gosh, I am really not doing a good blog today.  My washing is done so I am heading to the laundry room to get things in the dryer.  Counting down to eye surgery...sixteen more days!
