Why not combine something beautiful like really appreciating the time we have with each other by agreeing to turn off you mobile phone off just for one day & really been there in the present with friends & family. The day is Sunday 11the September 5am till Monday 12 Th September 5 am.
The mobile phone was mean't to give us so much more freedom but i actually wonder if it is as double edged sword, taking away as much as it gives.
So many of us now are talking & texting even when we are in company.
The other day I saw (what i presume was a mother & daughter get out of their car and both were just texting on their phones walking down the street, instead of talking to each other).
How many times do people/guests at meals start checking their phones for texts, and 'excuse me while i take this'.
I decided to look for an appropriate day, the obvious choice was a Sunday. Then when looking for one i saw 11th September which i thought was appropriate.
So I also thought of the time people coming in on a Saturday night
So i went for Sunday 11th September 5 am till Monday 12th September 5am
Of course the only exception is if there is a genuine emergency
