Technology and me

Technology and me just don't seem to mix. I've always considered myself to be able to put things together without too much of a strain. Granted, there are few pieces of furniture that weren't quite followed by the directions. If I can see it while being built, I do better then having to read the directions. I'm too impatient, but my gusto can't be beat!

     The older I get, the more technology wants to beat up my brain. I can't tell you how many passwords, lock codes, etc. I have had! I don't like it! The other day, my daughter downloaded the song "Lenny" by Stevie Ray Vaughan and I am in heaven. Now, I'm glad to answer my phone! But I couldn't have done it without her!

     I'm ashamed of myself when I freak out if I left my phone at home. I remember the times when leaving the phone off the hook was the way you "ghosted" someone. We have become so dependent on the devices that surround us that it is scary. I like not not hearing that TV blaring or the phone ringing constantly. I think there's a master plan with everything technically built, that it is set to die or something go wrong just when your warranty is up.

     Manifesting trouble and worry might give that electrical shot to the soul that can weaken the wires and sap all of the hope and joy and peace that surrendering can hold.

     I'll leave the technical part of my soul to the "grand technician", our Lord. The 1 who was smart enough to build these intricate and wonderful bodies that we have. To have created all genres of music, art, architecture and anything else our eyes can behold.
