Healthier they were then, now its house to car to work, then children to school, pick up children, then supermarket and home. Whatever we need is on line which is so much more convenient, even home teaching is becoming more popular nowadays. We burden our minds, in the old days walked to post to post a letter, now send it by email. phone the local supermarket for our daily needs our bodies are getting useless and take the easy way out, but overly busy minds will kill us. Blessings Jennifer.

so interesting, Harry!! Makes me think of kids doing virtual reality games instead of actually playing like kids did in the old days with their actual legs moving

Sometimes we elderly do a lot in our heads and hearts, but the body won't cooperate. LOL..Enjoyed reading this one.

Yes…I think you’re right! We long to experience life and sometimes choose to pick up a book and walk that out.

Now people are hesitant to walk on foot and stay inert. But their heads are loaded with thoughts that leave them weary.

In my head I walk miles and miles each day, going to different places and living a separate way . Three lines that an be interpreted in so many ways. Have a blessed day, may your journey be a good one. :)
