Don't get me wrong, I love having a cell phone, but what happened to the day when you called someone's home phone and if they didn't answer the call that meant that they weren't home, not that they just didn't want to talk. If you call someone's cell phone and leave a message, there is no way that they don't know that you didn't call.
Sometimes I get home from work and I just want to turn off the TV, computer, and cell phone just to have some quiet time.
Yesterday during group, my kids were CRAZY!!! They were basically jumping off the walls and I attribute that to Dr. Seuss's (sp?) birthday. Twice I had to step out of the room just to be able to gather my thoughts. God knew exactly what I needed though because as soon as I got two of the wildest children in the car to take them on a 30 minute drive home, they became eerily quiet. The children shared with me that they were tired and they both were resting their eyes. God knew that I needed that. After I dropped the kids off, I turned my radio off and just drove in silence. Oprah does that too. I just needed peace for a second. I needed to not be so accessible to the world. I needed to not have to listen to anyone and to not have to communicate either. I just wanted to be.
I think that's why I enjoy getting up early in the mornings. I enjoy not having to rush and being able to sit and enjoy the fact that I am alone.
