So a series of events that culminated in having our internet and phone service shut down left me feeling frantic. Besides the obvious addiction to email from which I suffer, I've been pondering why being cut off made me feel so disconnected. And that's exactly what it was - a big disconnect. Not only do I rely on the internet to run my business, I also use it to get my news, to communicate with clients, friends and family. I guess it's no wonder I was so worked up. One could argue the value of savoring this time away from technology - as the woman from Qwest attempted to tell me on my tenth or so call within 24 hours to plead for reconnection asap - but I like to designate this time myself vs. having it thrust upon me by surprise. Nonetheless, a valuable lesson in letting go...that I can reflect upon with more equanimity now that I am reconnected!Labels: Yoga
