We have been so busy this week that Larry declared that tomorrow would be his day off from retirement. I may follow his lead. We both have been trying to forge connections in the community here. Larry has volunteered with Habitat for Humanity, has started going to a bridge club, and has joined me in shopping for new televisions. I have attended ASG meetings, started taking line dancing lessons and yoga at the recreation center, have attended volunteer tutor training, and have done some serious sewing. I just checked out a novel from the library and think I'll join Larry and sit and read most of the day.
I have read about the Technology Sabbath movement, where people go off line, turn off cell phones, and televisions for one day a week. I know that could be good for me, but I'm not quite there yet. I have lived far more days without computers and cell phones than with them and remember what it was like. I played music, cooked, and read books more. Maybe I'll try TS next week.
