i've been painting in my journal and cutting inspirational words out of magazines for a vision book that i'm creating, which sounds soothing and even a bit zen like, but those things are almost always followed with the huge mistake of checking my phone and all of a sudden facebook grabs me in a chokehold of sorts, holds me hostage as i beg to be let go of, asks for a ridiculous ransom {like "turn off your phone and walk away and you'll never see me again"} and instantly my afternoon of simple pleasures has disappeared and been replaced with stupid cat videos and ten reasons why i'm actually more of an introvert than anyone gives me credit for. sigh.
this is me without my phone in sight and i like that me. i like the me that laughs when her feet get stuck in the wet sand pockets that feel like quicksand and imagines that that "quicksand" is sucking her down into an abyss where mermaids probably hang out when the sun gets too hot. i like the me that chases sand crabs around in circles, occasionally having to
and i especially like the me that takes jumping photos. in this group shot, their teacher raised her shoulders a bit and said to me, "confidentiality might be a problem" when i approached her about this whole classroom photo and i said, "no problem at all. let's have them all jump backwards" and then she smiled, took my business card, gathered the kids all together and applauded their efforts.
so the question of the day::
do you get easily distracted by your phone and/or facebook?
do you not get things accomplished because of getting lost in the instagram/facebook vortex?
or did all of that happen to you and now you have a solution?
please share!!!
