I need more kisses - the traditional kind and the application of simplicity in life.
My grandma reminds me every Sunday when we talk on the phone that the world is getting too wrapped up in itself. That we all need more time rocking on the porch, drinking a root beer and chatting it up with our neighbors over the hedge. She's on to something...
Many of us are "linked" electronically all over the place - crackberries, cell phones, Internet, blogs, and IM. But are we connected emotionally? Physically? Do we share energy or just electrons?
The price I pay is a sense of being in my own little world - which leads to loneliness. It's just too easy to type a note rather than stop by. But the hard way is more rewarding for my spirit.

Carrie,
Surely, your grandma is right. The idea of sitting on a porch and chatting sure beats leaving a comment on a blog.
But...there is also something nice about knowing that I can connect with someone who lives in the Midwest when I live in Los Angeles.
Maybe, we need both.
Susan
Nothing better than an outside chat :-)
I agree with your gram. The world and those in it are getting way too caught up in themselves. Including myself. The great thing though Carrie... Is that you have a awesome gram around to remind you of that. I often call my grandma from Arkansas for a reality check. She's a smart old bird!
Hope you're don't well my friend.
Hugs to you
