connected

I had every intention of writing on my days off, but I was busy with one thing and another and now it's time to go back to work tomorrow. As it turns out, I will be working 4 days and off 3 for the foreseeable future. That's ok with me.

The story I wanted to tell is that last Friday I accidentally left my phone at home when Ron and I went to work. I was out of sorts all day - I felt undressed without my phone - disconnected from everyone. What on Earth did we do before the days of the internet and smart phones?

I hate how dependent I have become on technology. It's upsetting to be in a restaurant and looking around at the other patrons to see them all glued to their phones instead of talking to their dinner companions. On the other hand, I am incredibly grateful to be able to stay connected to family and friends with news and photos.

Today I am grateful for ...
1. New pictures and videos of Wyatt (via facebook and phone!).
2. Homemade minestrone soup!

and that's enough!
