Sometimes Old School Is The Better School

I received a phone call yesterday that reminded me I haven’t blogged for awhile and that this was the perfect time to start up again. I have recently been going through a very challenging time and have let some things fall by the wayside. Through this time I have realized how important friendships and relationships are and when it comes down to it, that is what is really important. You really discover peoples character and integrity during these times. The phone call I received was from a friend I have known since childhood. She actually called me to check in and see how I was doing. Yes, she called. She didn’t text. She didn’t email me. She didn’t send me a message on Facebook. Yep, she called me. The old school way of communicating. Nobody seems to like to talk these days. They say they are so busy, working like crazy, running around like a chicken with their head cut off, blah blah blah. As busy as they are they always seem to have the time to text all day, post on Facebook, send emails, etc. When all is said and done, will you  look back and remember all the work you had to do and how busy you were? Will you realize how many relationships and friendships that were compromised? Yes, we all get busy and technology has aided us in communicating faster. But it has also replaced the personal touch. And ironically people spend more time on technical devices than talking to people. When you are going through difficult times, have your break downs and get distracted, how comforting is it to get a text to ask how you are? You cant cry on a text messages shoulder. I have to say that in these times I don’t have the time to respond to a text message, email, Facebook. I DO have the time to talk to you if you care about how Im doing. I also want to thank all of you who have actually called. There are many of you and I want to acknowledge that. Thanks for reading! I wanted to keep this short and sweet as I am so busy, running around like a chicken with my head cut off.
