when you live in a world
surrounded by nostalgic things
realize it was once progressive
you’ve come a long way, baby
farther than you’d ever thought
your adventure would go
you’re leaving behind a message
of where you have been
showing how far you’ve gone
I Write Her 
Someday I will get a pink Rotary phone and this will be my progression. 🙂

I think this next 20 years will be like the last 50 years, and the 100 years before that. It just keeps getting more technologically advanced because we’ve built ourselves a great foundation for progress. Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Keith! I loved your story. Actually, it is reminds me of a person who lived it!

So many things have progressed over the years. It always make me smile to see the words ‘rotary phone’, something which is now so outmoded the new generation are baffled by its operation.

What was new becomes old and is replaced with the new new which soon becomes old as well… the cycle never ends.

Thanks, Sadje! BTW, you’ve said I don’t make mistakes but my husband found a “dyslexic moment” (has been corrected) in the last stanza. 😉
