Decompression Day!
Everyone should have at least one day a week where they turn off the phone, shut down the computer, and decompress. Maybe all this being connected 24/7 has a lot to do with road rage, escalating violence, and a lack of manners.
In honor of my baby sister, I declare April the 13th (anniversary of her death) Decompression Day!!! For 8 hours–24 if you are retired, or if you have to work– from the time you leave work for the day until you go to bed, turn off your phones, get off the computer, turn off the TV, and decompress. Go for a walk. Play with the dog. Do something you enjoy that isn’t connected to electronics.
You will be amazed at how being disconnected for a day will make you feel less stressed.
Pass this on we could start a movement!
You all have a good one!

totally have this day to
I have shared, and will share many times. I loved the idea, although it won’t work for me, but I do understand the need for it!
What really made me think of it was while walking in the park we had a woman walk past us going in the opposite directions and she was talking on the phone. What a shame to waste a perfect time to have peace and tranquility with a phone call.
Sometimes I think those phones are glued to people’s ears or as the case may be for texting while driving..people’s fingers. I’m really glad THAT is at least being outlawed. I do think it a shame that people don’t use their brains when it comes to appropriateness of using certain electronic devices…example talking on the phone while trying to cross a busy street and tripping off the curb because of inattention to the surroundings. Because of idiots like these folks, more laws have to be enacted….as if there are not enough laws already…..
