I'm with you on so much of this. I don't use a phone, so I don't know what that is like. But I do see so many others on them and it does not seem good. I ride mass transit and I'm usually the only one not looking down.
My entire life is a vacation luckily. I have to celebrate New Year's since I'm a weight loss coach and I have a small window of time when my fat people are motivated. So now is when I work the hardest.
This year I am in Malaysia with no family, but my new steemit family here on the ground gave me gifts. I don't have the money to return this, and I feel conflicted. But I am writing letters to express my gratitude and I hope they will like them.
Here's to a wonderful year to come - no matter when it started :)
