As we mature, our past seems to stretch further than our future. For this reason, possibly, is why we tend to reminisce so often and so vividly. My memories of yonder years seem to become more glorious and more important to my daily life every day. I was born in a small town and those small town ideals and its slow cadence are long gone.
Today, we fill our minutes with tweets, and scrolling through pics, and liking, and hashtagging, and online shopping, and surf surf surfing our brains into delirium.
In order to combat this digital fatigue, I like to take short excursions and this list of small towns in Florida compiled by Gianna Smith Bedford for Country Living are just the right destination for my need to tune out temporarily.
