I found this post to be in harmony with my own thoughts these days. Maybe it's because Pookie has been asking, nay, demanding her own computer (a laptop, no less) for her birthday. I know she's needing more access now that she's in the 9th grade. *gasp* The demands that the internet be used more and more are growing exponentially. Staying connected is such an easy thing to do online. My parents wrote letters and sent cards. My sister and I talked on the phone incessantly. My daughter--who, by the way, will be 15 next week *gasp* now has a cell phone but we've blocked texting. She has also requested--more tactfully than the laptop request--that we remove the block. {deep sigh} So, while no blog for me--I use the comment sections on my friends' blogs *grin* for that--I think the tightrope we all walk is narrowing in some areas as our children develop their wings. That comfort zone you mentioned in your previous post gets stretched out in more ways and more often as they grow older. O.K.I'm done...for now. <strong>I knew you wouldn't disappoint! I wish there were a manual that accompanied that wing development. ;)</strong> O.k. where do i begin? I found this post to be in harmony with my own thoughts these days.
