In an effort to get back to the basics Casey and I have gotten rid of our cable, done away with text messaging on our phones, and gotten rid of our TruGreen treatments for our yard. I thought that I would feel extremely disconnected not being able to text anyone and not being able to watch anything but basic local channels on TV, but I am actually finding that I feel more connected. I am more connected to Clay, to Casey, and to everyone else. Instead of watching TV when Casey gets home we get down on the floor and play with Clay until we go to bed. (Not that we didn't play with him before, but we always seemed to have the TV on as well.) I will now pick up the phone and talk to people whereas before we could just send an impersonal text message here and there. And about TruGreen - who really cares about having perfectly green grass for 50 dollars a month anyway??
I am more connected and it is less expensive! Imagine that!
