I'm Not Participating

Sorry New World, I don't have a smart phone. I don't text. I only have a cheap flip phone. I don't know how to text on a flip phone. It doesn't work.

I am not on Facebook or Linkdin and I don't tweet. I am bored with Pintrest.

I'm not walking through the woods with my family like the guy I saw today only looking at his smart phone. Not talking to his 2 sweet kids….not observing anything of the beautiful world around him…only addicted to his smart phone. I'm not doing that. I'm not getting a tattoo. I'm not voting. I'm not getting angry at people who do get tattoos or do vote pro gay marriage or who do have smart phones or have five kids out of wedlock. I don't care if you insist on the world only eating vegan blue cheese dressing for $4.59. I'm not participating. I'm eating what I want.

I'm not eating organic anything.

I refuse to buy organic at 2x the price of ordinary plain and wonderful food.

I can't listen to the news on the radio or the TV. It's not news it's propoganda. I'm embarrassed at the poor knowledge and education and fear mongering of the tela-prompter readers.

I'm not into the "man causing global warming" mantra. I don't care if Russia and Ukraine blow each other apart. I can't stop it. I can't think about it when I go to bed at night.

I can do this: love my husband, love that God put us together. love that I have a home that keeps me warm. Appreciate the very next door neighbors that I have prayed for to move in and who in fact did to become my wonderful friends. I can make paper butterflies and walk in the hills and work on my putting and chipping and stand out in the backyard and BBQ and plan for my neighborhood parties with kids and moms and dads in our little park.

I'm picking peace of mind and spirit and soul.

I'm not participating in the way the world seems to be headed.

Sorry, I just can't do it.
