Don’t Fall For The “Okie-Doke-Joke”

Finding yourself wanting to text people more than talking to them lately? Well, you’re not alone. I’ll be the first to admit that I have to intentionally stop myself from texting and dial a number so that I can actually engage in a verbal conversation with people.

I swear that this new technology stuff is making me lazy in the physical socialization category. So I’m fighting to hold on to my old southern chivalrous qualities that I once held dear.

I would still much rather hear your voice than to read your text. I would much rather hug your neck than to shake your hand. Let’s walk to the park and have a home-cooked meal instead of drive to the corner to get a big bag through a small window. Let’s talk as strangers in a waiting room rather than go blind staring at our “Smart”-phones that are probably making us “Dumb” and uninviting to others.

Yes my friends these simple things can definitely help us to stay connected with each other in a world that’s trying to rip us socially apart. Now, don’t get me wrong, new advances in technology are becoming more and more awesome but meaningful relationships can and should be maintained and sustained outside of electronic mediums in a World-Wide-Wacky-Wild-Web.

So, I encourage you NOT to fall for the “Okie-Doke-Joke” of technological progress. Stay ever-so-loyal to the meaningful interactions of the “real” world and you just might find yourself Making it GREAT!

GREAT DAY!!!
