Getting out of line for the next iEverything

When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, 'Oh yes -- I already have everything that I really need.'

—The Dalai Lama

Recently my cell phone lost its ability to send text messages. Oh the Horror!!! Nope- I have come to find that I do not NEED to have the ability to text, albeit "convenient, it is not a necessity.

When you consider the fact that I have gone most of my life without benefit of a cell phone at all, living without texting is quite freeing.

I still get text messages, but if I choose to respond, I just call the person who sent the message. Much like I choose whether or not to answer, when someone calls me.

Got me thinking about what other "necessities" I do not really need......
