I think that sometimes we fight what we know is best and try in every way to take advantage of the technology and advances that we as individuals have gotten so far in achieving.
Computers, iPhones, iPads and mobile computing is almost like having an arm, take one away and we don't know how to respond in circumstances or in every day functioning.
I admire individuals who don't have Facebook, MySpace or Smartphones. It only goes to show that there is a simpler life out there and it is up to us to make sacrifices in finding that little bit of quiet each day to find it.
As I sit here and type this I realize that my life, my husband and my daughter are in the same triangle of social technology and computing. It is all an education in the world around us.
Walt Disney once said "No one can have a well-rounded education without some knowledge of what goes on the physical world around us"
Some of my education begins now.
For those that do not know me well, I am a Disney Fanatic, crave for the days of ole and cherish where we have been.
I see old buildings and run down barns and think about the history of what it was. I do not know who said "You have to know where you have been to get where you are going" but it has stayed with me from the first moment I heard it.
In the coming days I will showcase some of what I call my treasures...Old Barns, Farms, What Was and What could be again. To take something that only the naked eye would see as run down and old to be turned into a masterpiece to displayed for years to come.
I am not offering the 1980's version of "image in a glass" or my favorite classic "Butterfly Borders" what I offer is bring the old back to life and give what may be an old barn to you a fresh outlook of what used to be.
