Going Thru Changes

I should really be studying right now but I just gotta tell y'all bout this feeling I'm having. You ever pray for something and not realize when that prayer has been answered? I continually pray for peace in my life and God has answered. Where do I begin?

I've been saying for quite some time that I was gonna cut the cable off. The bill is too high and it's really not that much on, or so I thought. I call Comcast about 3 weeks ago and they were supposed to come out on the 20th to cut my line, they didn't show. So finally they cut all my channels except for about 12 Thursday night while I was at work. It was an initial shock to not have any channels but I keep telling B we can watch shows online and we have over 300 DVD's (we discussed the cutting the cable before hand). So with the cable gone I spend more time online working on accomplishing my goals and reading. A little weight was lifted, not to mention the few channels we have only cost us $12.?? per month.

I'm 25 so I'm part of the "technology/gotta have the phone to my ear or in my hand at all times" generation. Well honey, Saturday before last AT&T cut me off cause I forgot to pay my bill! Usually I'm online IMMEDIATELY making a payment but another weight was lifted. I slept so freaking good that day! They cut me off while I was asleep and when I woke I could not figure out how I slept so peacefully, I soon realized when I went to make a call. When B came home he asked did I have the money or did I want him to pay the bill and when I told him no, he was trippin. He couldn't believe I was really serious. I kinda couldn't believe it either but I was. It feels so freaking good to be without my cell. I do still carry it around because it's an iPhone so I can still access my music and apps. I've already started referring to it as my iPod touch.

After about three days I could sense B needing to call my while he was out, and then he came flying thru the door yelling "OK, I changed my mind, you need a phone!" So, I went to Walmart and bought a $12 GoPhone. I'm really trippin off myself. I had no idea I could go without cable and my cell but I feel lighter without them. I haven't even given out the new number yet. I did give it to my Bestie Keisha, only cause I could sense she was looking for me, and she was. I wanted to call my grandfather earlier today but I am not ready to give out my number yet. I just feel so at peace.

Before my cell service was cut I was really feeling burned out, tired and weak but I feel so much better now. Funny thing is I'm still working the same hours and have the same classes but I feel so much more relaxed. I even made dinner tonight!

Earlier today B mentioned an article he read about listening to classical music helps an individual to learn better. He mentioned it before but the thought hit the back burner. I'm sitting here now listening to classical music on Pandora and I am thoroughly enjoying it! I'm about to pour me a glass of wine and hit this A&P book.

I just wanted to tell y'all I feel great! I have no idea when I'll go back to my regular cell or upgrade my cable package or even give out my new/temporary cell number but I know I'm definitely gonna enjoy the peace while it lasts.
