Thanks The Monks Family for the thoughts. I believe sometimes we should just sit. For me, I find great solace in a long slow jog (and I mean slooooow).

There is one thing I want to bring up. While it may appear that people are addicted to texting and technology, I believe that people are addicted to staying connected. They are not addicted to the technology; they are addicted to the social connection or the need to stay informed.

Watch teenagers who are texting. They are conversing, maybe venting, and maybe reading about the happenings of close friends (or not so close friends).

I believe there must be a balance in staying connecting to those who we don't see and those who are right in front of us.

Of our close friends--those who are near and those who are away--neither should be ignored.

Thanks again for stopping by.

Nice post. I have heard many people say that they would do anything if they could play music/dance/run/etc. like someone else. That's simply not true. Those who have perfected their craft have often dedicated all their spare time, even their lives, to practicing and perfecting. I think that some folks who are literally hooked on texting, FaceBook, etc. I guess it kind of bothers me that the technology has overwhelmed our society so much that many are addicted to it. Sometimes it's a spiritual experience to sit quietly and play the banjo, listen to some calming music, reflect on what's going on, and notice what's around us. I see too many people walking around with their heads down texting, or better yet, driving erratically through town texting. As a farmer friend told me, sometimes I sits and thinks and sometimes I just sits. Thanks for the post.

Nick, I think the flexibility of knowing when you check out social media outlets and when you don't have to is key. It is possible that people want to read this content like we expect people to read and respond to email. We should respond to those things that directly affect business and the other can be like those articles you scan or don't read in the newspaper.

Hey Anne! Great post.

I have to laugh when people complain about not having enough time, yet they can tell you everything you'd want to know about who said what on the Bachelor.

It's all about knowing where you spend your time & making sure that lines up with your intended priorities.

Great post, Anne! I appreciate hearing that it isn't necessary to see EVERY single tweet that is thrown out...

I, like you find the little moments to grab a quick view and broadcast an update. Makes for a pretty good strategy in my opinion!

Thanks for the post.
