Yesterday:
Cousin: "Hey Lindsay, you would be so proud!"
Me: "What'd you do?"
Cousin: "Last night I was skyping someone, video chatting with two people, facebook chatting with three people AND texting four people ALL AT THE SAME TIME."
I really was speechless. Talk about multi-tasking kids these days. What should I have said? It would have been a perfect time for some old lady words of wisdom about the value of real conversation, rocking chairs and iced tea, hand-written cards or even just a good ole fashioned email. But no.
I realized I had no room to talk. (hehe) When was the last time I met a friend just to chat? Or send a card in the mail? It was a nice reminder to me about how easy it is to get caught up in all of our gadgets and forget about what REALLY matters. Not the quantity of our friends or conversations or blogposts or facebook statuses, but the quality. :)
So. I am going to challeng myself this week. When I am about to send a text or an email or post Happy Birthday on someone's facebook wall, I am going to stop... Pick up the phone... and CALL! (and hey, even if you have to leave a voicemail, that's a start) <3
Love ya LJ! Thanks for letting me blog about you, even if you made my technological abilities seem super lame compared to yours :)
