Sometimes, one can feel so alone in this world. This world made smaller by the Internet. This world of instant communication, cell phones and all those other electronic means. What's missing? The face to face human interaction that we all crave? Are we losing a part of what it is to be human? I've no answers this morning.
I do know that at times, I feel alone even in a crowd. Everybody all around is hurrying from place to place, phone pressed to their ear or scrolling a Blackberry for the latest, even the mister. Or as me, iPod playing some tunes through earphones. Sometimes, life seems to send me into a reflective place. A place where I only have more questions and no answers. A place where I question not only the decisions I've made in the past but also the future. Nothing I can do to change the past except for how I feel about it. I suppose if I embrace the past, its hold could be made positive. The future, a future that can never be certain but a future that I can affect. I just have to decide whether this path has been the right path and maybe I need to look for a new direction but I get lost in my backyard. Anybody have a spare GPS that I could borrow?
My time here is up for now. Have a beautiful day and take time for some Starbucks.

ok. you're scaring me. i've been having the same thoughts. do i chose to remove myself from people (i do) and just exist in this safe cyberspace place? funny, i don't feel isolated at all, though; in fact i feel more involved than i ever have. i've always lived a solitary life - i used to think there was something wrong w/me because i do that. now i embrace it; i like that about me. but it does feel like i'm really different sometimes... cindi
I do believe, sometimes, that I've chosen to not make myself available. But, also, this area does not go out of its way. There just isn't the same level of interaction even when I'm out. Is it me? Probably. I am comfortable with being alone, maybe too comfortable.
