 |   One writer's journey |
 She sat down at her old wooden desk, pen at the ready. Her thoughts raced. What shall I write today? Tilting her head to the side, a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth before enveloping her delicate face. The purple ink began to fill the once blank sheet, each stroke a labor of pure joy as the words flowed from her mind, her heart, her very soul.  My Dreams... to write of romance and endless love to love without boundaries to learn from past mistakes to laugh with all my heart to be the woman I am meant to be  TODAY... I will reach for the stars Will not give up Will give all that I have Dare to dream the impossible dream For anything in this life is possible    <---I am blown away by this    |
| Prompt: On this day in 1973 the first handheld mobile telephone call was made by an employee of Motorola, who called AT&T's Bell Laboratories. How important is a cell-phone to you? Do you still have a landline phone (telephone wired into your home)? Do you use your phone for more than making phone calls like playing games, taking pictures etc.? I wish I could say my cell phone is unimportant, but I'd be lying through my teeth. Because I run around and get parts, or up to the grocery store or whole sale to grab things at the last minute for the gas station and garage, I have a wallet phone case to carry my driver's license and a credit card so I don't have to drag my purse along with me. It's gotten to the point that if I leave home without my phone, I freak out.  It's pretty sad, but that's how it is now. I use my phone for everything—games, texting, WDC, social media, and YouTube. The best part of my cellphone is that WhatsApp lets me talk to my husband's family daily overseas in Lebanon. When I was first married, we could only afford to call once a month for 30 minutes at $150. Now we can send voice notes, video chat, text, and share pictures and videos daily for free. How incredible is that? With one granddaughter and another one on the way, pictures and videos fill up the space on my phone quickly. Because of the added benefit of apps, I can order things for the gas station, like Frito Lay, Cigarettes/Tobacco, water, you name it. I like that I can have my phone in my hand and walk around the store adding things I need instead of making lists, going to my computer, which is in the garage, and ordering that way. It's so convenient. I bank from the phone and deposit checks with the banking app, though I do have to hit the bank for cash deposits still. The one thing I hate most about my cell phone is that it tells me how much time I spend on it weekly. Seriously, I'm well aware and don't need the reminder! Yes, I still have a landline, and I'd love to finally get rid of it, but with the weather the way it is, I think I should keep it. I mean, who else can say they have a rotary telephone in aqua hanging on a wall in their sunroom? It's totally vintage. |

I love how you haven't aged me since 2008! Why that's fantastic. I'll take it.
And you sure had a day worth venting about. Hope tomorrow's a better day.
