Thought for the day

Well, I did better than I expected on not using technology for an entire day.  I didn't go technology free, but there was a definite difference and, more importantly, I liked it.  I did my usual morning routine of checking my email, facebook and doing an online crossword puzzle.  Michael had to work very late the night before, so I didn't want to do anything to make too much noise.  I got Squirt out on a good walk before getting ready for church.  I was afraid I would spend the entire day at the computer because Michael worked again yesterday and I did not have any plans.  Luckily, the sofa was calling my name and I took a delicious nap for a few hours listening to some wonderful classical music on the radio.  I'd forgotten how comfortable Grandmother's sofa is.  I think I've found my new napping spot!

Anyway, it was just nice to do some other things besides staring at my computer or my phone.  I watched some great vintage tv, made dinner, visited with Lois next door and watched Victoria on PBS last night....all without my phone or computer.  It was liberating.  I do recognize the fact that I use my technology and that I truly do need it.  I've come to rely on it for many things.  But, the bottom line is that I don't have to rely on it for everything.

That is all.
