Looking through Pixabay for a particular image this morning I came across this one. As I sat and looked at it I realized that it's appeal for me is beyond what I expected.
I have never really thought about it before but I am always looking at old pictures, writing in older times. I am not a today, modern type of person. I just plain old like ancient times, antiques, and all things old-fashioned.
I live vicariously through my writing back in the times when life seemed simpler, harder maybe, but surely simpler. As a matter of fact, I believe that I probably should have been born mush earlier that I was.
Don't get me wrong, I love my computer and the ease of research, and I certainly couldn't do without air conditioning but... I think I would have loved living way back when the living was slower and the people seemed more gracious.
I am thinking, I may be living in the wrong century. What about you? Do you belong in the here and now or do you feel you should have been born when men were gentlemen and woman were ladies?

I agree with you. I'm glad I'm still alive, but I would have liked to have served in and survived WWII, moving into an Eichler home with my maiden wife upon my return. Or maybe been one of those cowboys who ran cattle from Texas up to Montana in the 1880s. That's a great picture!

I've always thought that I'd like to live in another time.

Since I do believe in past lives, I am sure I lived several times because of my attachment to certain things and places.
