I remember carbon paper. I remember the world before copier machines.I remember real mail, writing letters with a pen, signing letters and licking the stamp. I remember slide projectors and watching the pictures flash on the white wall in the basement that had been converted into a family room.
I remember sitting at the dinner table as a family and discussing the day.
I remember listening to the radio at night before we fell asleep.
It was simple. It was gentle. It was not 24/7 everything.
With 24/7 everything we lost everything.
We lost us. We lost a quiet moment with the family over a few dinner rolls and mashed patotoes with the salad and chicken.
With everything we lost the subtle meaning of it all.
I remember the times when the summers were longer, the roads were empty, the cars had running boards and you wore a suit to go to the movies on a Saturday night. Life was special.
You were special.
You can be again.
Go back and recapture you. The you you are meant to be now.
Try the experiment. Go back so you can move forward.
An ageless experiment.
