I have longed for the hands of time to tick backwards and take us all back to the times when neighbors held block parties, and folks sat on their porches and waved to you when you passed by. Although technology is wonderful and quite useful (such as the use of the internet) it should not be the ultimate answers to our problems. The answers can be found pages back in history, when people respected each other, cared for each other, and had a genuine pride for their community. The simple things, such as growing a garden, watching a little league baseball game, going fishing, spending time with friends and neighbors, etc...not to mention the sunrise and sunset...all things we take for granted that if we just stop long enough to re-notice them, we will find a greater peace and security in these troubled times. If the planes stop flying...if we don't have gas for our cars....we still have our community and neighbors and friends and family; and really, isn't THAT what life is all about?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13576079905084466410noreply@blogger.com
