Random thoughts... Growth in the age of apps.

I was sitting here slouched over my phone bouncing between my email, the Internet, & my Facebook app. I noticed my head "falling" forward and my neck feeling a bit of the strain, this then moved down into my shoulders, and I could feel pressure at my lower back and sacrum.... My thoughts then went to technology. More specifically, "smartphones," iPads, tablets, and "on the go" entertainment devices. What effect are these devices having on our hands, fingers, eyes, neck, back, and posture? How about those that are the very young.... How will constantly leaning over a device alter their growth?? 

Will they begin to evolve physically into stooped like zombies??  I guess time will tell....meanwhile, perhaps I should put this device down, square my shoulder, raise my neck and head back into the proper position. Yes... I'll do that now.

With thoughts of joyful sunshine and proper posture,

SPRING!!!!!! Into action!

Are you familiar with 5 element theory? Today is the beginning of Spring here in Maryland! Spring is wood. Creativeness and imagination spring forth. Shout it out!! It is a time for growth and expansion. Creation and destruction. Wood feeds fire and breaks earth. Tend to your liver and gall bladder! Green is the color of the season! It brings wind and change. The direction is East. It is a time for the dragon. It is a time for vision and your ruler to come forth. It is a time for enthusiasm and impatience! 

((and on a related, yet different note, it is also a time for Aries. This is my time!- well...spring and summer))
