Write Me Wdj

I was really impressed and refreshed                                                                                                                 after reading  a piece written by a                                                                                                                       young lady. She said we should not allow                                                                                                             our lives to be short changed and discouraged                                                                                                       when we see only "Highlights" of people.                                     

Another thing. I am a nut for nuts,                                                                                                                                and one of the things that drives me nuts is                                                                                                                eating sweets whose menu calls for nuts
but the product comes up short on the nuts.                                                                                                              Give me plenty of nuts or give me none.                                                                                                                 Who needs watered down versions of things?                                                                                                  Without a doubt, something is missing.

Life too is more bland and far less sweeter                                                                                                              than it used to be. What is happening                                                                                                                          to human relationships and that old                                                                                                            fashioned connectiveness we once felt?                                                                                                                 That eye to eye contact that's real?                                                                                                                              

And musing right along,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        We prefer to fax, text, email, and                                                                                                                                       some other form of social media.                                                                                                                          'Call me' is becoming a maybe,                                                                                                                                  and 'write me' is a foreign language.

There might be some things that fit                                                                                                                              the song that I use to hear, and as I                                                                                                                               recall, it was a car ad that said,                                                                                                                               "Wrap it up; I'll take it". It was                                                                                                                               a great car, but not all products are                                                                                                                       created equal, and my response                                                                                                                             before you wrap it up would be,                                                                                                                                        "Hold on; let me test it first".
