Over-over communication

This afternoon I decided to shut down my cell phone from all calls and texts. I am on overload this week and thought it was time for a little respite. Yes, I'm here now blogging but not on FB and not continually checking my emails. In fact, once I finish composing these thoughts, I'll be "out of service" til Monday. My niece and I just had a conversation about over communication. Yes, cell phones, internet and all are great advances in our world but man, do I ever wish it was say, 1980 something...back then you knew more about your friends because they actually told you face to face or you got a call while at home, not at your job or while you were driving. I am guilty of calling (and answering) while driving but in the 80's folks only called to tell you the real important stuff and they waited til you were at home. Now, I find myself calling my sisters, my mom or brother, well, just to say nothing because they already know every move I make through FB or me talking on the cell to them while shopping or whatever it is we are doing and yes, my Mom can even text. So, in this day over communicating, I decided to call it off for a few days. I think tomorrow, I'll watch Matlock and pretend it's the late 80's or something like that. I bet I won't have as many cares or stressors. Hey, maybe they'll be something good in the mailbox, too...you know, the one that sits out in front of my house.
