The reason I ask this is that I so often see a couple out to dinner and one or both are on their cell phones and not paying attention to each other or their meal. We seem to be so driven to multi-task that we aren't in the moment....

aware

be present

Dragonfly4life Good for you! Be present in your own life. I'm sure your loved ones appreciate it too. When it's time to be with those that are important to me I put my phone on quiet and enjoy our time together. My phone is for my convenience, not to run my life by always...

I know of people who don't. It's really annoying when they do that. It's just because I feel that we need to have privacy.

Dragonfly4life Yes Simon I agree. I was raised that way. I have no problem with it at my home, or when I go to friends. The problem comes when I am at work. There are things that I have to handle on the phone that need privacy. I don't often shut my door, but it does have a...

When a couple get divorced or separated their children will greatly suffer the consequences. That's why there's increasing rate of divorce simply because parents never thought their children how a couple should stay together and...

Dragonfly4life My parents divorced when I was 8 yrs. old and we moved to another city to have the support of Grandparents. I was much better off without the tension and the fights that would spring up, despite them trying not to fight in front of me. Most children are pretty...

Are there any things in your life that you are superstitious about? Like not washing clothes on a certain day of the year, or spilling salt and throwing a pinch over your shoulder? If so, what is it and how did you get that way?...

Dragonfly4life I actually had an experience of my own with what you say out loud when I was a teenager. Several friends and parents were talking and someone brought up being in a car wreck. I said I'd never been in a car wreck and the conversation went on from there. Well...

Dragonfly4life That's cool. That's the kind of thing I mean. You just wonder where it came from, how it got started and how old the custom is. Good thing my Birthday's passed this year and so have most of the others I know, or I might be rethinking my beauty routine....That...

Dragonfly4life Don't be sorry, I really wanted to know what folks thought. I consider myself mostly logical, but there are so many things that we don't know about our brains and how they work and what affects them that I like to keep an open mind about it. Thank you, I glad...

Dragonfly4life Well, I too do the salt thing. I also like the number 13 because my Grandmother was born on a Friday the 13th, so our family always felt good about it. Walking under a ladder just seemed to me like asking for trouble to fall on you in a common sense sort of...

Dragonfly4life I hadn't thought of that number in association with this, but I don't like it either. There used to be someone I worked with that had the 666 in their phone number and I often had to give that number out, so I broke it up when I said it. Maybe a bit...

Dragonfly4life I agree with you that there can be more than one person in our lives that we truly love. I think it depends on what our own state of progress is when we run across that person. They might be right for us at one time in our lives, but not at another. I never...

OK, so I'm the only one I've ever met who has always loved being an only child! Anyone else out there?

only child

1 response

Dragonfly4life I enjoyed being an only child, until there was no one else to blame the broken object on. I liked the quiet time to myself and even though I'm married I still enjoy that time alone. I think it helps you be more self sufficient, at least it's served me well...
