Stone Age or Freedom?

I have been living now for 3 days with out my Iphone, I know that doesnt seem like a lot but if you truly know me then you know how big of a deal this is for me. When the Iphone 5 came out I was so excited with getting it ordered and getting it in my hands I couldnt wait, I was trying to figure out every way possible for me to sell my 4 and purchase the 5. But then things changed actually that DAY, I wont go in to details about what it was but I will say my eyes were opened up to the "what if's" in life. I realized in a matter of hours that at any point in my life I could be left with NOTHING!! All the things that I am addicted to now, the Ipad, Ipod, Iphone, laptop, cell phones etc they could all be gone due to different reasons. My main thought was look at all the things I have sitting around me, I have everything I need and I am constantly wanting more, not because I am greedy but because I am apart of society,I am a part of a world who is constantly wanting!! We are spending a lot of money each month just to keep up with people on facebook, twitter, and emails. When in reality I can just log onto my lap top and check it when I am sitting down instead of every second. I have felt freedom these last few days. I do not wake up and check facebook, I do not sit with my phone in hand and I do not search in desperation for my phone when I can not find it. I have talked to the kids more and set outside without being distracted and I have not worried about what everybody else was doing in the world. I still have the ability to text on my new phone but I do not have internet access on the phone so that is a plus. I encourage everyone to at least try to go a week without their Iphones and see if it allows you to feel free or isolated :) Good DAY!
