I've been meaning to post pictures for two weeks already!! If it's not one thing it's the other. I keep saying, "I'll do it tomorrow..." And now, two weeks have gone by. How does this happen? I keep getting these forwarded e-mails from people with the "carpe diem" vibe and I think...I have to cease the day! Just do it, as Nike would say. But, who has the time?? When did our lives get so busy?
Sometimes I sit and think of what it would have been like before technology. To live off of the land. Actually spend time with the family, day in and day out, not just for fleeting moments. As much as I love technology and think it's done wonders for the human race (what is it we're racing for?) I also think it's ruined us. We're stressed, high strung, OCD, ADD, ADHD, anxious, etc, etc. I find myself panicking if I can't find my phone...my heart actually starts racing, like OMG what if I can't post something on Facebook, Tweet, play Scrabble, Words with Friends, take a picture like right now??? Seriously I feel like smacking myself! It's ridiculous. I do have to say, I still read books and am able to sit in silence without having my skin crawl. That makes me feel like I still have a grip, that I'm not too far gone. LOL!
I'm glad I grew-up without all of this technology. I actually played outside, had to call a friend from a "land line" or just walk over to their house (alone, in the dark) to go talk to them. We would have family game night where we played actual board games. All things I want to pass on to my child(ren). Times have changed but our morals and values don't have to.
If I can't cease the day, I will at least cease the moment. Stop and smell the flowers, enjoy the sunrise/sunset, cuddle with Kaelynne, call my parents (just because). Maybe even have "no cell phone time"...just the thought of that and my heart's racing...LOL. To answer my own question, who has the time? We all do, we just have to take it!
