www.boredpanda.com/movie-premiere-black-mass-senior-woman-living-in-moment-no-smartphone-celebrities My notes: My husb has a Tracfone ‘cos phone booths are near gone but we don’t believe in cells. Unless it’s for an emergency, we don’t need to be on it constantly. I like this picture. I wish more people would put down their phone & live in the Now. You don’t need a million pics or to take a video. Experience it in real time with your real emotions. Watching it ‘later’, you lose the connection you had when you recorded it.

I totally loved this vid and it's sooo true. Don't get me wrong, I have a smart phone, totally love it, but it never leaves the house. My mobile phone is totally immobile lol. I don't do FB or any other social media and have a total aversion to it; i've never understood peoples' need to constantly take selfies and tell everyone what they have or where they've been. Yawn.

However, as with any other tool, it can also be misused. Many people have become addicted to social media websites, such as Facebook, so much that they spend their entire day in front of a screen, losing touch with true intimacy and the “real world”.” My notes: Very telling.

I see it all the time at work. People are constantly on their phones needing to be connected and up to date on everything going on. Severe cases of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). It just makes everyone seem so anti-social. Even families together are all on their phones and not engaging with each other. Not talking face to face even with family members.

I finally realized it. People are prisoners of their phones. That’s why they are called Cell phones.- Unknown Write your hurts in the sand & carve your blessings in stone.- Unknown Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.- Henry David Thoreau Your life is what you pay attention to.- Catherine Price Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn.- Elizabeth Lawrence You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.- Maya Angelou

Lost time is never found again.- Benjamin Franklin "To live each day as though it were your last day on earth is a fine idea,” said a very wise grandmother. “But I have always lived by a slightly different theory. It’s this: always treat all the people you meet every day as thought it were THEIR last day on earth.”- Unknown A library is the delivery room for the birth of ideas, a place where history comes alive.- Norman Cousins Don’t be misled by bestseller lists; they represent the books that are bought, not the books that are read.- Unknown A sense of curiosity is nature’s original school of education.- Smiley Blanton

Some days I spend so long in front of a screen for work that the last thing I want to do is use social media.
I have recently deleted my Facebook profile, I hate the platform so much. It is genuinely terrible for your mental health. Insta and twitter soon to follow.

It is genuinely terrible for your mental health. Insta and twitter soon to follow. I deleted FB due to the censorship. I went to Mewe (the alternative) but I'm not on that much either. Prefer forums But for those who still want to keep in contact with family & friends in a FB vibe, look into Mewe.

Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumblebee, the small child, & the smiling faces. Smell the rain, & feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, & fight for your dreams.- Ashley Smith The problem today is not how to live within your income, but how to live within your credit.- Unknown
