There’s always a reason to leave the air unexpectedly, like a ghost vanishing into thin air without indications of its disappearance.
Take my case for instance. I was totally engrossed blogging that I failed to realize my battery indicator blinked for a long time. It was too late when I found out I would be given no more extension to my quality time. To think that the connection was unusually smooth, then in a few minutes, it could not be fully taken advantage of.
What a life!
We were so blessed. After midnight, we were ushered into complete silence, given the opportunity to sleep soundly while the dark surroundings gratefully welcomed the natural noises till the early morning.
We woke up, expectant that we would begin the weekend without hitches. But, it’s a quiet Saturday to experience, unplugged from the world outside ours, isolated from the worries of people elsewhere.
Some people were too preoccupied how to prepare breakfast. At least the dependable firewood stove was nearby, solving the issue of cooking.
Overall, we love the switch back to the basics. We were grateful to be given the opportunity to ponder what was wrong with us, being too dependent on modern appliances and why we were selected for the honor to have an electricity-absent morning.
More than thirteen hours of savings from our bills. Hurrah!
P.S. If this post sounds sarcastic, so be it.
People now depend on gadgets far too much. Take them away and they’d be lost.
I hope we could find the correct balance with our reliance on gadgets and our connection with the old ways.
