Love this. Yes, I’m sure we can all live without our smartphones.
A day doing the ordinary seems endless and beautiful. Including doing the dishes by hand 😉
Thank you for posting.

The best days are days of the ordinary that we recognize as extraordinary.

Yes.
“I remember one morning getting up at dawn. There was such a sense of possibility. You know, that feeling. And I… I remember thinking to myself: So this is the beginning of happiness, this is where it starts. And of course there will always be more… never occurred to me it wasn’t the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment, right then.”
– Michael Cunningham, The Hours: The Novel (Farrar, Straus and Giroux; July 31, 1998)

So this is about smartphones? Is that why you made it unavailable in this country, David? Because I’m always bugging you about too many gadgets? *grin* (Can’t view the clip. Sorry.)
And I put that link at bottom of post for all my on US friends like you, and you totally ignored it!

I’ve had worse. As a child I was mugged a by chicken for my hamburger, the summer we spent on a dairy farm in New Hampshire. Now that I think of it…it was once of the best times ever.

If I hadn’t read the comments, David, I wouldn’t have realised you’d put a ‘link’ at the bottom of your post. My thanks to Annelie; I shared her pie! 🙂
Beautiful message in the video… I love my smartphone… I also love being without it, at times. In fact, David; it’s generally in a bag in a bedroom where I can’t hear it. People now send me ‘messages’… Arrrrr… much better that way.. 😉 😉

Smiling. Anneli always gets the wave started…as to smartphone, it’s like a third arm for me. Gotta have it.

Understand, David. I guess the same could be said for me; but, it’s the PC! My third arm…
Ah well, what can we do, but accept! 🙂

My dinosaur of a computer isn’t compatible with the Jane Video, drat! It is so temperamental to turn on (a grueling process) some would have kicked it to the curb by now… and I said to the hubby at least it isn’t the old Aol phone line connection to the Millennium Edition software to the old Dell desktop…we even have an old Compaq Laptop that works…it weighs at least 8lbs (so I don’t use it) and I guess that Jane must have stayed home and enjoyed the passing of time, life’s simple pleasures?

Compaq laptop. Does it even have wifi?
Loading...
Yes…when it is used it is used as a cd player…it has awesome JBL speakers…just sent you a funny email…

CD player! Wow. Like ancient history! 😊
