He was sitting on a park bench, drinking a cup of coffee, and reading the newspaper. It brought a smile to my face.
I recently read somewhere that with the spread of internet based news sites, newspapers will go out of bussiness. Though I doubt it'll actually happen, it makes me realize how little we are in touch with the world we live in.
All the latest gadgets are a must-have. The newest car,websites online popping up faster than a coiled spring. It's not enough to just have email, or even facebook, blogger, twitter. And all the other ones that I don't know about, and are yet to come. i can't keep up with it all!
Through all of it, you must remember to take pleasure in the little things in life. A walk in the park. A chocolate bar. (Nothing simpler than that!) Sitting on the beach, building a sand castle.
I love walking to the museum near my house, and just sitting there, watching the waterfall. It's enthralling.
I think computers and internet are a major asset in our day and age. I doubt I'd be able to live without email, seeing as how I check it 5 times a day.
But sometimes I feel like stepping back from it all, taking a breather, and just enjoy the simple pleasures in life.
5 times a day? That's it?! It goes to my phone and I'm almost always online.
ReplyDeletebtw, for business, there's linkedin.
I enjoy food, family, reading books too.
Newspapers are outdated, too expensive, too big. I get news on twitter as it happens. Or, you can subscribe to an RSS feed. Newspaper prices are going up because of lack of readership, meanwhile the only plus is if you're Jewish, you can read them on shabbat.
I totally agree, there is nothing like a nice bike ride, or something else in the outdoors.
ReplyDeleteLike BBQ, or hunting dangerous and delicious woodland creatures. ;-)
