Do we do any single thing anymore? It sure does not seem like it. When I look around, I get the impression we are are living in a world of over saturation. We wonder why we feel so stressed out, why there is not more time in our day, why we are tired all the time, and why we feel so alone.

If you pay attention today, I know you will see what I do when I watch other people getting through their day. I see men and women with their cell phones glued to their ears, chatting away while doing something else, like watching their children play in a soccer match. Not just a few minute conversation, but thirty minutes or more. My favorite sight is small groups of girls standing in a circle all of them talking to someone else on their cell phones. Boys do this with their cell phones too I have noticed, they are just not as obvious.

It doesn’t change when people are supposed to be out enjoying their day. Cell phones are glued to their ears while walking, shopping, eating, or even (yuk) in the bathroom. A woman at the local salad bar was on her cell phone her whole meal! It sure seems kind of silly to me. She should have been dining with whomever she was speaking to rather than having them listen to her chew.

Our world is a great place to be in when we slow down and take advantage of what it has to offer us! Electronics are great, I have them, and I use them. I try not to let them take over my life though.

I prefer to talk with people that are here with me, not someone who is busy doing something else while they are trying to hold a phone conversation with me. If I call someone on the phone, I want to be comfortable and able to give my full attention to them. That way we can share in conversation, and not just trade words filling a void across the miles.

How about you, what do you want today from your day?
