Technology Addiction...Reality Check!

I cracked the glass on my iPod Touch last night, and it was as if I had dropped a puppy or kitten on the concrete. I was sad and was mentally beating my self up for being so careless. Then I returned to reality and reminded myself that it was not a living creature, but pieces and parts that could be replaced (no matter how expensive).

I felt out of sorts while I was out and about today without it. I couldn't check email, go on the web, listen to my iTunes . A part of me was sad, but another part told me to get over it.  I didn't grow up with this stuff (it hadn't been invented yet!), so why am I fretting not having it at that moment?!

I have decided to wait until the new year to get it fixed, to allow me the time to break my hold on this pocket sized window to the outside world. I need to focus more on the moment while I'm in the moment, instead of checking what the rest of the world is doing.

My laptop and I are going to become very good friends over the next two weeks!!
