Daily conversations with my daughters are the highlight of my day. Yes, I even visit daily with the one that lives three interstate hours away. Daily conversations with my mother and mother-in-law, neither live a stone's throw away, reassure me of their safety and keep me abreast of any needs.
Shopping: wow! Saving money and time has always been a favorite of my husband. And, boy can I save that gas money by shopping online. Just last week I bought a few Christmas presents. Surely I saved more in gas than I paid in shipping...but I don't think so.
Smart Phones and email accounts keep me up-to-date on work, even when I am taking a few days off. How does one spell oxymoron?
Add the texting feature we all cannot do without, and my spouse can contact me any second, any minute, any hour daily with suggestions: entertainment, food, transportation, how to fill my day, who I need to talk with, what I need to drink...
Did I say connected? What was I thinking? Connected, really? It's more like being cyber-linked, having a cyber-umbelical cord.
