I was just thinking that it is kind of sad that phones really aren’t used for talking much anymore. I do FaceTime a fair amount which is really nice, but I think it is refreshing to talk on the phone from time to time. I am really good about posting to social networks, but I think that it just isn’t the same as actually talking to someone. (Some day, people will say how archaic Facebook was when an interactive social network replaces it with something I wouldn’t be able to imagine now).

I have a friend who recently called me, and it was so great to catch up with her since we hadn’t spoken since I saw her at my going away party. I know we all are busy, but I think it is nice to connect with people by actually hearing their voice. I am going to try to use my phone more with this purpose in mind.

Moving with two kids was stressful, and I definitely like being connected through social media, but I think sometimes it isn’t quite the same as talking to someone on the phone or actually getting to grab a coffee in person.
