Fine tuning

I've noticed I'm tuning out a lot lately. To the noise, all those distractions, the television. Or maybe it's more that I'm tuning in. But this summer I've been very busy. Work and family are always first priority. Fun seems to take a back seat. Time seems to be a luxury that I don't have at the moment. And so I've become hyper aware. Of what I'm doing, who I'm doing it with. I'm reading more. Watching tv less. Trashing emails promoting the next sale or class I can't live without. Because I can. And want to. It's a cautionary tale. For those in marketing, always trying to get someone's attention. But to many emails from the same company, to many specials, and it becomes noise. So I say with caution, watch what you send. Because I think we all need a little break.
