In Canada we will be celebrating Thanksgiving (Oct.12).. already there is a sense of pumpkin pie, roasted turkey, maple glazed ham … yams, squash, and yes. . . pumpkins everywhere you look. The orange glow is everywhere.
In PL(Perfect Liberty) we celebrate “Thanksgving” (day of appreciation) every month.(21st) it is so important to give thanks and show appreciation for ALL that we receive in life. Sometimes we don’t know what or how we got somewhere, but eventually .. there is an Ahhh Haaaa moment.
Yesterday I drove to my old stomping grounds, (woodlands) as I parked and looked around, the world was lush and full, trees were still green, the paths/trails were not overly littered with fallen leaves.. but.. you could “feel” there was a change in the air. Geese flew overhead, impossible to miss… as they called out to each other and anyone else within hearing. Otherwise it was blissfully “forest quiet”
I changed cell/internet carriers after I moved to where I now live… those who share with me on a fairly regular basis, know I have my “moments” with technology. Seldom do I get a phone message (voice mail) friends text, and often the message is relayed in text format.. I block suspected calls, and don’t answer numbers unknown to me..
Guess what.. there was some kind of update on my cell… and I started to get voice mail msg that I had to put in a code to get my messages. When I put my code in.. it told me .. it was wrong.. I stared for some time at the msg. and tried again.. after several tries.. I gave up. I was told had to go to my ** account.. and get a new pass code That proved to be a tiresome barrage of instructions and go here do this do that.. etc.
You all know what is coming next. I simply gave up .. I am not going to spend hours trying to figure out how to change a password that I may use or may not use ever… Friends if you want me, text me, or send me an e-mail. If you are on my friends list, and I really dialogue with you… I will see you called, and call you back.
I am no longer going to play this game where one has to be mechanically inclined or have hours to spend dealing with robots and mechanical automated messages.
That I am old and wise enough to have come to this decision.. I am thankful that I am blessed with the knowledge that I am comfortable with the silence … i can call out, I can use the technology to research something… take pictures etc.. but I don’t need to engage otherwise.
