#163 - disconnected
Hi everyone! Apologies again for the delay. I've moved house and don't have any internet or phone yet. It is amazing how much I have come to rely on being 'connected!' In honour of the occasion, I'd like to hear your take on being disconnected.

I planned to link this to Sunday Scribblings for those who have known Otto through my link to the SS site and who would want to know that he had died. The prompt of "disconnected" fits my current state of disorientation and tears.
Been awhile since I visited.
Learning to care"
Here is my first scribble, enjoy!
At first I couldn't think of a topic and then it came to me. My cousin left the UK for NZ in 1950 and we never saw or heard from him again. My aunt suffered dreadfully.
Old Grizz dedicates his blog "Burned Toast and Coffee" to Granny and Otto.
May God be with them.
I dedicate my blog likewise to granny and Otto.
My prayers...
Haven't been here for ages Nice to be here again
Thought I'd play along this week. :)
I'm talking about a woman from my past who was..disconnected.

Wrote mine before I read about Granny's dear Otto. My heart goes out to you and your family, Phyllis.
Oh... I wrote about being disconnected from my computer, and the week that's had stuff happening, and now I see the news of Granny's great loss of her dear Otto, and am reminded again that nothing matters really except those we love. My heart goes out to her.
some kind of disconnection you can find here - From Horse to Carthank you everyone for sharing.

Thank you for this prompt. I needed it.
I wrote mine about the prevalence of the internet and not being able to cope without it
Somewhat early on a Sunday for me. Hope you enjoy:

Thoughts and prayers for Granny Smith's loss.
This is my first time participating. :)
Returning home to Oregon and the need for windows and a furnace reminded me of how absolutely connected we are. Electricity runs my life.

My second post for this week. An extraordinary dance troupe called The GIMP Project
My first Sunday Scribble! Have enjoyed reading everyone's responses.
My first shot at this.
somehow i KNEW sun scribbs would coincide with exactly what i wanted to talk about! i wrote a post about technology: is it making us dumb/disconnected? etc. would love to hear your thoughts! posted it before i saw sun scribbs was updated.. just came back from a camping trip (disconnect from technology!) and saw this wonderful topic!
this made me think of those times when a conversation "disconnects" and trying to figure out what's going on...
I see I'm not the first to talk about disconnect through too much connectivity.

I've relaunched my blog - Ceebie - it's been ages since I posted...Anyways I'm posting a day late, but better late than never!
My post was written last week and then I saw that it fits this week's theme. It's about losing connection with nature...understanding what that means...and then finding it again.
Mine is up :)
