Why does everything seem so much more simple and dreamy in the days gone by? Maybe it was lack of technology that forced us to be more personal or maybe the 11 pace of life
that left you with time to "stop and smell the roses?"
I always hear my 12 talking about how simpler times were when there weren't phones in everyone's hands and the only 13 they had was sitting around listening to radio talk shows. 14 were these times as great as we think they were? Do they 15 their
enchantment to their distance in time?
I recently watched a movie entitled Midnight in Paris (2011). In this 16 film, the main character gets lost in the streets of Paris and at the stroke of midnight, a vintage vehicle 17 the passengers encourage him to get in and he is transported to the 1920s, the age existing in his romantic 18
During his journey to the past, he realizes the people living in his "golden age", long for
the ages 19 theirs.
Using"The Roaring 20s"as an example, in an age of sustained economic prosperity and cultural edginess, things were not as pretty as the 20 of flappers and cocktail parties we all have painted in our minds.

Although I find myself thinking of what it must have been like to live"the 27 life,"
I still think today is 28 than all the yesterdays.
Next time you hear someone saying they wished they didn't live in these times, ask them about their travels or 29 they are able to talk with friends who live far away or in other countries.
While the past is my golden age.
