Now, I know that we live in a day and age where we are incredibly blessed to have technology that closes the gap in distance. I am grateful that I don't live in a remote area where communication wouldn't even be a topic of conversation. However, trying to communicate with time changes, over multiple countries, over a private network can be quite taxing.
Not to mention the dead spots and frozen screens (though some have been quite hilarious). I feel like a gymnast when I'm trying to facetime my family and friends. I start at the bottom of my bed and slowly roll/tumble around searching for the best service before the phone disconnect. Phew…at least I'm getting nice and limber ;)
I also just miss being able to pick up my phone and call someone to meet for lunch/coffee and it be a short quick process. None of this needing to schedule a time to call because I am 12 hours ahead, or having to walk-to buy a ticket- to catch a bus-to be birthed out at the bus stop-to walk-to finally sit down. ok ok…it isn't that extreme (only if I need to go shopping).
I did just learn of an app that will allow my phone to have a US number, which would allow me to just call me friends and talk like I live next door to them, which I am excited about. I just need to learn a little more about the process to see if it is legit. Not trying to get into anything sketchy…
For now, I am remembering to cherish the fact that I have a way to communicate and even see my family, which wasn't even possible a few decades ago. And I should be grateful to have people that love me enough to put up with my bed-head and cranky at the wifi attitude.
