“I awoke this morning with a devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new.”~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Are you really thankful for your friends? Both new and old? Really? In our whiz-bang, technologically happy society, its really easy to send an email or a text and think that we are making a difference in the world...Why not just pick up the phone and talk to someone?
Think about how our society has progressed. In the early years, if you had never met someone, it wouldn't be until you did that you could create a relationship...The the telegraph came and then the telephone. You could talk to people and never have to meet them...Now we have Facebook and Twitter and we can have all kinds of "Friends" that we have never met!!
I'd like to add to Emerson's quote..."the old and the new and those soon to be." Our society is going back to where we were a fifty years ago, where relationships MATTERED! We kind of got away from that, but we realize now that "it's not what you know, but who you know and even more importantly, who knows you!
“I awoke this morning with a devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new.”
