It's disappointing, isn't it? I have the same experience with "vintage" films, and early tv series. They bore me rather than amuse or inspire, and I find myself wondering that I/we were ever that innocent and easily entertained. We've changed a lot as a species in my lifetime. I told a friend just this morning "don't become cynical Teresa." And she said "too late, I already am." I agree, I don't know if I can become any more jaded. But the simpler concerns of life, the ability to be entirely consumed and grateful when spiritually connected with nature, sharing an inside joke through a glance and a smile with a stranger, the sound of laughter in the morning, a spontaneous hug, a good stretch, etc. they haven't changed. AND there's puppies!
