Sealed with a Kiss

In the days of golden yonder years: with love letters one would seal the envelope with a kiss, lick the stamp and wait patiently for the postal worker to pick up; then one would wait days, weeks, sometimes even months for a reply.

Now days more often than not a click of a button sends the mail from ones computer to another but now even faster with Text on ones phone.  Reply is almost instantaneously.

Passion is gone from actual writing letters on paper.  I doubt if most 15 years old even know how to write a formal letter by hand.

Speed and efficiency is the name of the game now days.

I'm old school - I love writing a note by hand.  I give my guy hand written love notes quite often.  At one point he saved several years worth of little notes and had stashed them in his 'favorite box' that was kept in the drawer at the counter where we eat.  Every now and then he pulls out this box and reads through the notes once again. 

I did not know for a few years that these notes where being kept.  Even as I type this post a smile is on my face knowing that  He tries very hard to conceal that he is a romantic.  My love notes are  kept, and viewed when one needs a reassuring measure of life and so I continue to seal them with a kiss.

Enter the Dragon Day Tripping

During the night one dreams.  Your mind relaxes and things happen.  Some say it's to delete unused data, file new data that is necessary, and resort data we want to keep.  Pretty cool all that the brain collects during the day is up-cycled in ways one can only imagine.

It's also said for one to keep one minds sharp as they grow older is learn new skills.  Improve on old skills.  And use skills throughout the time your awake.

I'm expanding my mind.  A new cell phone.  Now you need to understand I came from a generation of humans that will have the hugest impact on the world 'Baby Boomers'.  And this ole boomer admits to not being savvy on many of the new Techie' gadgets that one finds in everyday life. 

My dream is to be so savvy on these items that I can keep up with my 15 year old nephews.  I also have a little guy who many of you know calls me Grandma Pat.  He is 4 and can work a iPhone faster than I can blink.

So I enter the world of Cell Phones that are smart, fast, slick, and costly.  A simple phone once owned is now going to the cell phone graveyard unless I decide to surprise my guy and keep it as our second line for his usage in case of an emergency should occur while out riding his bicycle.

Enter the dragon slayer.  Touch screen, unlimited data, messaging, web viewing, and APPS.  All new mind building skills.

Watch out Jerry Ray ~ Grandma Pat is going to have you blinking!

I'll be day tripping as the new & improved Dragon Slayer all over the world on this new smart phone.  Thank you AT&T for your 1cent deals.  Thanks to all the engineers for developing all these fun gadgets that drive us crazy and making us desire them!
