What do our Iphones do?

What my smartphone does for me? Beware

Causes me to be more inclined to check for: text messages, snaps on snap chat, new Instagram posts, social media websites, and media in general.
 I lose/break/get wet my phone so apparently it is like losing something I think is ideally important.

Causes me to be paranoid but where I last placed it or where it is when I need it.

Causes me to be insecure, less connected, self centered, carpel tunneled, loss of hearing, texting maniac.

Waste more time on it than living life with others and in this world.

Gives me carpel tunnel, weak wrists and early arthritis and hearing loss. 

Causes me to add apps that charge for stupid things.
 Hold pictures I may not need later or when I want them they are gone.

Makes me realize how much lonelier each generation becomes when they buy them.

Scares me how much I use mine.

Causes me to unplug on vacations, but immediately come back to it when I return.

No, my smartphone is a nuisance and a sad way of where our world is headed.

Rolls over in bed, light on phone wakes up. It’s 2am and it lures you in and you began to text because you cannot sleep.

Your stomach is upset and you are homesick. The phone connects you home. 

The phones light up a concert during a slow song.
The phones guide you in the dark alley on the way home.
The phones help you connect to a loved one when they are far away. 
Screen shot a receipt, save a picture, save some notes, hold reminders for the day, or look back on a video from the past to make you smile.

But how could they be so bad?


Try to limit your usage, or it will run you. Moxie signing off to go back to sleep zzzz.

    Smartphones, like much of social media and the internet has proven to be nothing but a timewaster. It holds our attention like a moth to a flame. They disrupt interpersonal relationships and distract us from the things that are important in life.

New Zealand Untamed Landscapes: Honeymoon 2019

Image
I was debating putting this post down since we arrived home. I gave myself a week back at work and a weekend to recharge and try to wake up. I have to laugh a little because typically when I come home from a wonderful trip, I am usually a smidge depressed for awhile. I observe the life and country of another land, get immersed in their culture and then depart before I can consider losing my passport and trying to stay. Ah, the life of a world traveler. New Zealand is a land of true beauty, many parts of it, are untouched by tourists, and holds vast landscapes of sweeping trees and mountains. The Maori people who live in the Maori village there are kind, and they protect their land very well. They made us a hengi feast and cooked it in the geothermal hot spring ground. Kind of like if America had a 'nature's slow cooker.' The food cooks all day and you can simply leave it covered and in the ground, where inset boards will be lowered down to cook the food. We also went to ...

Stay at home mom, Landmark, this and that, goodbye Midtowne on the Park

 Hello! Took another a long hiatus from these posts. I have been a busy momma. I left my job at Lockheed Martin June 2nd last year. I left the comfy cushion of a good salary, 9 hr days, and daycare days to days where I am central focused on kids, rather than when I will get my nails done, or when my next day off is. I attend St. John's Baptist Mother's morning out group once a week, 2 hrs in the basement discussing a book with other moms while the kids are in nursery or toddler class, beneficial. Learning to say no to things rather than yes to everything. I said no to women's bible study, which I love, to yes to more time with the kiddos, and yes to supporting my husband and the unpredictable work schedule. I say no to rushing from here to there unless part of our normal routine, and said goodbye to friends who do not fit changes, or energy, those who do not understand or give back.       Becoming a stay at home mom has helped me get back the moments I had lost ...

Setting yourself up for disappointment

I don't know what's harder, the beginning, the middle or the end of something you thought would last. for two weeks I have been sick on and off, and my life things I like doing have been put on hold, no gym, no life group, no bible study, it's been miserable and this week I could only go to work one day because I have pink eye in both eyes, trying to get well again. When I don't get to go anywhere or do anything, I do it anyways. I worked out while sick last week and made it worse. I went to see Iron Man yesterday after work because I needed to get out. I disinfected the apartment periodically and cursed when I saw statuses of people going out and having fun when I'm stuck. during my time in my room, or in the shower, or cleaning, I began to fester about what I could have been doing, what I needed to do, or what happened while I was absent, or about all the people I cared about who maybe forgot about me. Here's the thing, everyone has a hobby, or maybe its a fla...
