I wanted to Instagram my salad I am having for lunch but I can’t without my phone. #firstworldproblem Not having a phone changes many of your behaviors and reveals habits you have with it.

I Left My Phone At Home This Morning
I am forgetful, we are all forgetful. This morning I left my mobile phone at home and it will be a day to get by without it. Fortunately I am connected at work so it’s not as big a deal as it could be. This does provide an interesting throwback Thursday though. It takes me back to a time when I didn’t worry about having a phone and I wasn’t hyper connected to everyone and everything everywhere I went. Nevertheless its still frustrating to forget something that has become a part of ones everyday life. Yes I know this is a first world problem and there are more serious things to be worried about. My phone gets the day off from me…I guess our gadgets need a break too.

The Mid-Week Post
We are at our midway point of the week good people. The weeks end is in sight. I am getting things done at work today and looking forward to a busy weekend. At work this morning we had breakfast as a company and tonight as a department I will have dinner with my team. So I will be eating all three meals here at my workplace. It’s like I live and work in this building which is not a bad thing. I love my work so its not a big deal. Whatever you are doing today make it awesome.

She remains a legend even in 2015. Her short life and career still inspire today.
