What an amazing time we live in! I'm not THAT old (half a century, Ha!) but I remember things that seem impossible to the younger generation. When I start talking about various jobs I've had, some of them seem to have been done in the Stone Age. I started typing on a manual typewriter, was overjoyed with my first transistor radio. The first copy machine I used seemed like a miracle. The calculators and computers that we take for granted were seemingly impossible dreams when I was in school. In my lifetime, we've set speed and distance records that are broken nearly as soon as they've become the record.It's a constant miracle to me to have the Internet. I can't remember how we functioned without it. (Well, I remember, but would not be happy going back to that way of doing things!) Watch our world map. As the days and weeks pass, you'll see that people from all over the world will leave their mark. We'll be amazed at the people we are able to be in touch with. It will seem a miracle to post pictures of things we just photographed, and even more amazing to share them with everyone by merely clicking the button.
I'm encouraging each of us to be in touch, to post regularly. It doesn't have to be long. Just little notes to stay in touch.
