Not as guilty as some, but I do own up to using my personal obsequious (always wanted to use that word) device in spite of it usually getting the better of me. Usually? Most always.
How embarrassing…
I personally can live without mine. I like the freedom from it. The ones that need to get a hold of me in an emergency always have a way to reach me other than my cell phone.
But all three kids that are away insist I don’t deactivate my Facebook account. Their preferred way of communicating in FB messanger.
It’s so easy to get sucked in when it’s so accessible. In Italy I had no Wi-fi unless I sat in a specific spot at certain times. Cell phone access was more readily available (thanks AT&T) but cost the price of 2 great Italian meals. So I decided it was a better investment to eat good food, walk a bit and set aside my phone……
It is possible after all! Just not so easy coming back to the usual habits…
I still have a land line! & I use a prepaid cell only for occasional incoming.outgoing calls and texts…my husband never sent a text…and he wishes that on this leg of our vacation (ah the ocean is so beautiful) that we didn’t have any coverage, because we have rec’d three calls today…apparently there is a mouse at large in our home…ugh.
Life in the slow lane is good…finally linked my cell to the one car that has bluetooth, it is an 09 purchased about a year and half ago (we love the heated & air conditioned leather seats) …the other cars have a dual CD/ cassette tape decks./// We did have a ring tail cat every-night last summer prowling the yard…turkey vulture came a few feet over hubbies head in the garden the other night.///The sun is sinking into the horizon of the Ocean, must go appreciate, such a gift 🙂
And this supports the theory…

Smiling. Your comment reminds me of a Mary Oliver poem:
Morning Poem”
by Mary Oliver
Every morning
the world
is created.
Under the orange
sticks of the sun
the heaped
ashes of the night
turn into leaves again
