Do we really need to be connected every minute?

My first reaction would say no, but let my system go down and I feel deprived, isolated and there is something missing in my day....Actually I get very few emails or comments on my blog so I really do not understand this sudden void in my life when my system is down.
When my husband goes out to the barn everyday and I do not hear from him until lunch or nap time, I am not at a loss, I am not lonely I know he is with me in spirit even if he does not remember my name...He always comes home for dinner and bed.   I also know he loves me, but my computer does not, I know it does not love me...it seems every day lately there is some sort of glitch going on it is a mystery to me how I loose stuff or can not log in or forget my password or my printer is not working; now that really annoys me.  It was down for a week I do not know why, but I did fix it, after a two and a half hour session with a Centurylink tech at three in the morning we completely disconnect my system and re-installed it...Yes I did that, did I learn anything, NO, well maybe a few things but I do not know how to put them to uses;  still I am happy to say my printer is working again, why it stopped I have no idea.  I have to say I have had several late night work sessions with Centurylink's techs and they are helpful and patient with old ladies who can not see where to reconnect the thingamajig. with questions like how do I tell which yellow wire goes where? and which one is which?I was actually on my belly trying to read something believe me it was not easy but I did it and my son-in-law would be proud he did not have to come over to get me out of my jam, but then again, he will miss my pie, I always bake him a pie for his being my knight in shining armour,  he really does love my pies.  Anyway everything is up and running for now I am a happy camper but I fear it is only temporary...
Yesterday I saw a very old lady, much older than I am trying to talk on her cell phone she was in the roundabout no less now that is scary, I am proud to say I will nor use my cell phone while behind the wheel it is dicey enough without any distractions...On that Happy note I say good night and be Happy.

Leaves of God Fall 2009

My seasons have flown by so fast
I can hardly remember the details of my budding
I bloomed far too early forced by natures call
The flower of my youth stolen
My spring lost

I could not hold my bloom
As fruit required all my time
That season of summer went so fast
Consumed by my fruit youth slipped away
Never to swing freely in the warm summers breeze
I held fast lest my fruit should fall

Hot summer days turn to chilly nights
My fruit now ripe hear falls call
They release to face their own unknown
I watch as they fall free
My branches lift from their weight
I stand-alone the crisp air begins to blow

Indian summer comes with new love
I bask in the crisp sun light
My beauty is seen and shared
With the bloom of crimson leaves
My golden years begin

Too soon, I see my skin begin to shrivel
Youths golden beauty slips into grey
My hold on the tree of life seems futile
The frost of winter comes so fast
I hold tight lest I fall

So many leaves are falling
I watch as they let go one by one
My winter is here my time has come
The cold ground awaits my fall

The snows of winter cover my memory
Yet the family tree still stands
Spring will come
New leaves will unfold
The seasons of life begins again
