Today, I'm thankful for my phone.
I know it's not a fancy phone -- it still has buttons -- but it works for me.
(I love the paisley pattern and red too. It's pretty huh?)
It's not the "latest and greatest" and it's certainly not a "smart" phone
but it does the job.
It allows be to be in touch with my loved ones.
I can get pictures sent to me in an instance from my kids who live far away.
Like Beth sending me a picture of the funny housewarming gift Jake gave to her.
Or Scott being excited that he (or at least half of his body) made it in a housing brochure for SUU and he sent me a picture of it.
I got to see these pictures instantly.
That's pretty amazing when you think about it!
When my camera broke, my phone came to the rescue.
It even takes video!
I've found some priceless tidbits my children have created saved on my phone.
It makes me smile.
I can talk and talk with loved ones miles away no matter where I am (except at work because I work in the middle of a cinderblock building and it doesn't get reception.)
I have a really cool ring tone.
It's one of my favorite songs, "Lucky" by Jason Mraz.
Everyone teases me but when it rings, but there's no mistaking whose phone it is.
But the best is my ring tone for my messages.
It's Emma's little 5 year old voice saying,
"You have a message!"
It's priceless!
Today, I had a nice chat with my awesome Mom.
Something I could never have done if I didn't have a phone.
Yesterday, I got to hear from the excited Beth when she found out she's getting a grant for her classroom (which is totally awesome!) and I get fun texts from Scott almost daily which make my day.
Again, I wouldn't get if I didn't have a phone.
So, today, I'm thankful for my phone.
(Even if it is a little dorky compared to everyone's fancy "smart" phones!)

I had a smart phone for almost 2 years and now I'm back to my old dinosaur (as my brother likes to call it). The simplicity is awesome.
I, too, am thankful for my phone!
