The older I get the more I’m a ‘Boomer’ in my teenagers eyes. And I’m good with that. Why? Because there a whole lot of things in which I’m ‘Old School.’
I read. I take the stairs instead of the elevator/escalator. I walk on the golf course instead of ride. I use punctuation when I text. I value conversations with people. I enjoy quiet hikes in the mountains along with hand-written notes. And I enjoy long car rides with family and loved-ones.
I’ll be the first to reap the rewards of modern technology and will save me time because of it. But, I also know how important a hand-shake and looking into someone’s eyes can be. If being ‘Old School’ keeps me connected, grounded and present in the moment, then sign me up.
