I have to write about this...If you are reading this blog and you feel it may be about you, it quite frankly may be.... it is one of those YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE BLOGS...
So we're sittin at lunch..3 of my best gal friends and myself... and first of all its hard for me to focus on just one thing...my mind is always listening , watching, thinking more than one thing at a time... but that's a whole different blog... and I'm panning the room and I notice.. I bet 60-75 percent of this WHOLE place was engrossed in their darn phone. I look over to my right and theres this darling little boy, thirsting for his parents attention probably 2 yrs old, standing on his chair, leg up on the table and Mom and Dad both, right next to him nose to the phones. It just made me sad. Today when I went to get dinner I made it a point to try and recognize how many drivers were on their phone when I passed them.. I am not lying when I say, I think 3 were not..ALL others had their phone to their ear. And thats just the drivers.
Are we all really that busy or that important that all the things happening right now, right in front of our face are not as important as a message or as important as the things going on in others lives ? Social networking is amazing.. I mean really , where would companies be, where would our economy be without it ? But I also wonder, where would our kids be without it and where would we be without it ? I look back in just the very near past and I can't help but think, gosh, I know where we would be... we would be where we are at the moment... All the way....not partially, not just one ear or one peek up then nose back in. We would wholeheartedly be in that moment. You know, I'm not saying I'm not thankful for this day and age and that my kids will grow up with this amazing networktastic world. I'm just saying, I am thankful for the day and age in which I grew up, and Wow how things change. I have decided you know, I don't want to miss Now... when my kids are around and still awake or families around or I'm with my friends... I am going to try and make it a point to live the moment I am surrounded by and enjoy the NOW... its the only Now we get and it is gone quicker than any web page can open...there is no refresh button.. It is just gone.
Happy Moments friends..
