I'm Old-Fashioned That Way

Send me a message

A chance encounter at the grocery store—where a teenage couple mocked my handwritten shopping list as "old-fashioned"—sparked a deeper reflection on values that seem to be fading from our society. Is being old-fashioned about recognizing what practices and principles remain valuable despite their age?

What happened to respect? Not blind deference, but basic consideration for elders, authority figures, and community needs. Where has kindness gone? The simple courtesy that creates human connection seems increasingly rare.

I miss the days when honesty and integrity weren't negotiable—when someone's word actually meant something. 

The Golden Rule might seem simplistic, but "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" remains the most profound ethical framework we have. What old-fashioned values do you still cherish?
