MY WATCH

What a pleasure to look at my watch!  It is simple.  It displays the time.  That is all it does.  That is its only function.  It is not a computer, calculator, calendar, camera or toilet.  I have only to look at it to see the time.  No logon I.D.  No password.  No application.  No keypad.  

How refeshing seeing such simplicity!  We live in a time when our lives are complicated with the Internet, e-mail, text messages, cell phones, computers, etc.  I am not against this technology, but how hard to get away from it.  We are surrounded by it.

For the few seconds I look at my watch, I am transported away from the chaotic digital circus.  I am taken to Simple -- a place of silence, peace and quiet.  I return restored and rejuvenated.  I go on vacation every time I look at my watch!

AND ANOTHER CONVERSATION WITH MY BLOG . . .

Blog:  My Gigabytes!  Where have you been?

Me:    Here, there and everywhere?  I'm not sure.  My mind is on an extended vacation.  It is touring the Universe.  I don't know when it will be back.

Blog:   Can you write without your mind?

Me:     Sure, no problem.  I do so all the time.

Blog:    So,  can I expect regular visits?

Me:      My good friend Alexander Pope said, " Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed."
