I am getting better at remembering my phone.
We get used to certain patterns. I always pat my pocket to see if I have my keys, even when I am at home and just going out for a few moments. My wife likes to lock doors and I don’t like to be on the wrong side of her security. I can’t remember when I walked out the door without my keys or wallet. The phone doesn’t have such a good record.
But I am getting better. It is becoming a part of my hand or a weight in my pocket. I am beginning to sense that something is missing. I had that feeling the other day as I started down the steps to the car. Something was out of balance. I had my phone. I had my wallet. I had my coffee and lunch. Then I realized what I was missing was my rolling case with my work in it. Habits can be good things.
About the time I get used to something they will come up with a new shinny. It is called progress but I would question that assumption.

I've always said, "Progress requires change, but not all change is progress." (I get profound like that once in a while.)A lot of change these days is just about someone forcing us to spend more money.
ReplyDeleteIs that what we call "spending our change"?
