Is there anything wrong with the way things were?

We all crave what is new and what is hip.  Restaurants in New York City change just as quickly as the produce at your corner market.  Novelty breeds curiosity.  Curiosity leads us to investigate and wonder if something is better, faster, tastier, sleeker and sexier.  Yet, gazing backwards to a simpler time....we smile at the old photographs of love struck couples and the proper courtship that resided between a pair.  While technology plunges us forward whether we like it or not, we can opt to recoil however we'd like in many of our choices.  We can pick up the phone and call someone we care for, be it a friend, a relative or a lover.  We can send a love letter or a card to warm someone's heart.  We can sit by the light of a candle and ponder life and happiness without a gadget, a television set running in the distance or a light on in the room.  We can linger on our lover's lips like they are as sweet as clover honey without a care in the world about the eyes of strangers.  We can regress and leave our cell phone behind when on a date.  We can spend the day with a child, giggling at the silliest of things and playing with sticks and buttons.  We can bake a casserole and wear an apron.  We can twirl in a polka dot dress.  We can stand awe-struck at the amber sunset and pause some more.
