Maybe

I was thinking wouldn't it be great if we could just combine different eras in time. Take the best from all of them and make a new time. Like a lot of people that reach a certain age I have become nostalgic, longing for a time gone by. The time of my youth. A time when you could walk about at night unafraid of muggers. When you didn't have to lock your doors at night. Life was unhurried and people as a whole were a lot more polite.
Of course we didn't have the internet or Facebook. Would have to add that in. I could do without cell phones and smart phones but not Facebook, gotta have that.
What other things would you like to have have or not have. Color television is great but I really don't need big screen,high definition with surround sound. Microwave ovens, for heating things, is an essential. I'm still using a percolator type coffee pot so automatic drip or K-cup type coffee makers are not necessary. Digital cameras are mandatory.
In the larger picture though it is these very objects of progress that has caused all the changes. It is always supposed to be for the better. Doesn't always work out that way for everyone though. Too bad we don't get do overs. A chance to just take it back. To pick and choose ,so to speak. Maybe that is what heaven is all about. When you get there you get to pick and choose. Only the things and people you know and love will be there. I'll have Facebook and a cup of coffee. Write a blog about the things going on in heaven. It'll be great !
