My Dilemma

Feeling overwhelmed is easy when there are literally millions and millions of possibilities behind our screen.

…

I unplug to take life one thing at a time.

I unplug to escape the constant pinging and buzzing of notifications, alerts, and messages.

I unplug to look at the sky.

I unplug to open my book and focus on one thing.

I unplug for date night.

I unplug for morning workouts. Or afternoon workouts.

I unplug to spend uninterrupted time with friends. With family. With myself.

I unplug to drive.

I unplug to take my dog for a walk. To play fetch with her. To scratch her belly.

I unplug to sip on my coffee and talk to my significant other.

I unplug to live.

…

I love to look around me. I love to smell the bacon my neighbor is cooking, or hear the magpies fight over the scraps of bagel they found outside.

I love to spend time with loved ones – including myself.

When we unplug, we are in good company. Even when we are alone.

Enjoy the silence.
