Our today was spent lounging around, mostly engulfed in our laptops, each focusing on our interests. Kinda makes a person wonder what we did before the internet.
Kids growing up today will hear about the pre-internet time of history and will wonder how that was even possible. Kinda like we wonder about the world before electricity.
Many societal changes today, some amazingly wonderful, some frighteningly negative. Each generation has its views and conceptions of the NOW....for us seniors, an unfamiliar and daunting land is emerging, whereas, for the younger generation, a world is emerging filled with wonder and anticipation. None of us knows how others feel, but I do know that the world I've known is growing smaller and more in the distance. Leaving me in a lost zone. Perhaps this is what happens to each generation as it reaches its conclusion.
Despite the predictions for extremely hot temperatures, today we enjoyed the openness of a slight breeze. Not as bad as we anticipated. Understand that England and other countries are experiencing dreadfully hot temps. Also wildfires.
Tonight's supper consisted of leftovers. Now we settle in for the duration of the evening. We received a text message from Cuddy's parents with photos of their poolside evening, winding down from a long day's drive. Cuddy's quite content, having had his supper and treat, cuddled on the couch beside his favorite pillow.
Sun is beginning to set, dusk setting in. The peaceful time of day in between daylight and nighttime. The table lamps are lit and evening contentment settles in. Sweet repose to all.
