Yesterday morning I left my house without my phone.  Luckily, I use my phone for everything —  directions, taking notes, calculator, calendar, guitar tuner, music, audio books, voice memo, meditation, camera, etc.  So I noticed it soon after I drove off.  Otherwise I would have been without it all-day-long — from early morning until the late evening.

Today, it took me at least 2 hours to notice that my phone was missing.  Luckily I needed traffic information before driving off from work. 

I had NO idea where and when I last used it.

The cleaning lady found it!  

One of my friends tried to help me find it by calling it, but — I hardly have my ringer on.  So calling my phone is pretty useless.

AT&T seems to be forcing me to buy a new phone because it hasn’t been working very well.  And because of this, I was not too worried about not finding it.  Though I would still be lost without anyone’s phone number and email address, and much much more.

I am glad I am not tied to my phone.  I often leave it in the car or at home.

When I’m out with friends, unless I have another appointment after, there is no way I would even think about using my phone.

I have a friend who bans his family from bringing their phone inside a restaurant.

Also I think CALL your friends and family, instead of texting.  Hear their voice.  Take in their love.  GIVE love.  Via voice conversation.

Try to detach from your phone.  Try harder.  There’s so much beauty right in from of you.

Happy February!
