It seems that the more devices we have to connect to family and friends the less time we actually spend connecting. What a dilemma – shall I text, email, phone, Face Time, Private Message, post, poke or Skype – just excuse me while I take a small nap to consider the possibilities !!!

| Modern Dating Rituals |
Sometimes it almost feels that I am cyber stalking my family and friends – checking in to Facebook to see what the latest news and events are – always hoping for up to date of photos of people I love and still being surprised that Facebook has become the best way to keep in touch with everyone around the world. When my Mum was alive I think she was our proxy Facebook channel.
While I love the convenience of these forms of communication and it does seem to be quick, cheap and inclusive I also yearn for the time when we picked up the phone or wrote a card or letter to a loved one and took more than a moment to include them in our lives. One thing for sure it will be impossible to have a box of well-thumbed love letters in the future.
