Two recent TED talks that I come back to over and over again...
-10% of Happiness are related by outside conditions
-working on the 2-minutes daily of appreciation and thankfulness
-Writing appreciation notes to my social network is difficult

I'm glad I still have guy friends who I can call the day of to schedule a lunch date... As even Eric Schmidt said, these things have an "Off" button. As for real-time "conversations" if I'm not on email, I'm on the phone; but mostly dialing for dollars. I haven't had much time let alone self-reflective solitude time; and in a way, I do miss the times when I didn't have 4G in the car... dang it, I'm paying for it..! I would feel like I'm wasting it...
