I purchased a Starbucks card, but was told that I need a Smart Phone to keep track of my benefits. People tell me how I can have internet and GPS and the ability to connect with others at my fingertips at all times, but I reply that I don't need those things at my fingertips! Life is already too hectic, just having a cell phone prompts us to use it at most inappropriate times, like driving. We need to slow down, not to speed up, to connect to our soul and the world around us! That's it - my ranting is over, thanks for providing a venue for it! God bless!<br />P.S. I forwarded information to you about Alameda USD policies on letting groups use their facilities.Dina Toyodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02581591562227597281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5944766913433542786.post-2353451616057512782014-01-04T23:45:43.720-08:002014-01-04T23:45:43.720-08:00Dear Innkeeper,

A quiet, reflective and healing prayer tonight with our second oldest son.<br /><br />2. Catching and blocking a pending, fraudulent bank debit card charge online late last night, before it went through.<br /><br />3. That on my day off, my sales manager kindly arranged for a colleague to handle a second delivery to one of my better customers in S.F.<br /><br />4. Priming the pump the "Downton Abbey" Season 4 Premiere tomorrow, with tonight's PBS rerun of Season 3.<br /><br />5. An unexpected and touching letter from my older brother who is in rehab in the South Bay; and doing well. He closes with..."I am so very fortunate to have a huge network of loving family and friends to come home to!"Carl Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18168412345145927553noreply@blogger.com
