Phone Free - At least for a day

so the other night I left my phone at work. At first I was really nervous about it just because I have this fear of breaking down on the highway by myself or with the kids and not be able to get a hold of anyone to help me - you know. But after I made it home safe and sound with the kids, it was actually nice, very nice. I remember back in the day when cell phones weren't even that popular and if you had one you were the rich kid on the block you know! Now technology and most jobs require you to have a cell phone. Yes it is nice to be able to get a hold of someone in an instant with text messages, email, facebook etc. but it also has become a hindrance of society today.

Americans work way too much and we are always tied to work. We have cell phones, laptops that we are always checking emails on, or voice mails etc. When was the last time that you went without computers, no phones, no I pads, I phones etc. Just living life like we use to. When you worked and you went home and left work behind and you actually spent time with your family. Our priorities over here are so messed up - we always assume there is tomorrow to spend the time with family and friends but then another meeting comes up or an appointment.

It is bad that we are like that as humans, as American's that we need it, that we are addicts to our emails and voice mails and text messages, to social networking.

There is a song that I love to listen to by Kenny Chesney "When the Sun Goes Down" - it just makes me feel like being on a secluded beach with the sand between my toes, a cold Corona in my hand, no phones, no emails, no texts - nothing but the ocean singing to me, well unless Kenny was right next to me :) 


I hope everyone enjoys the weekend - be blessed with friends and family. Turn the phones off, the computers shut down, emails can wait until Monday morning and texts can go unanswered - ENJOY the time and RELAX!

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love and happiness to all,
