Technology can be exhausting, even if it’s fun. I mean, I enjoy Facebook, love my email and random texts from friends, but sometimes it’s too hard to get away from the Blackberry/Twitter/Googleverse and my brain feels like it never gets a break.
Have you ever been camping in the middle of nowhere and you realize that the loudest thing you can hear is the blood pumping through your veins? It’s been too long since I’ve felt that there’s no white noise or fridge hum in the background and I think the lack of silence is taking its toll on me – and all of us! :-
O
I’m not alone in having a craving for peace. Take Julia O’Malley of ADN.com – she loves her coffeemaker, iPhone, and social networks, but it sounds like she actually slept BETTER when she had the blue screen of death on her computer! At least, the first night. Imagine a day that starts with a broken coffee machine, then the internet goes down, your computer blue screens and your iPhone dies. Not too many people would consider that a chance for Peace of Mind, but Julia did. Good for her.
I know I’d be sleepless until I knew all my files were safe. Mind you, I would reach for my copy of Selkie Rescue, or I’d download the newest version, and set up the file recovery before I went to bed. Unlike most people, I don’t have to worry that a crashed computer will trap my files or that I need to fret over my last backup.
Then, with Selkie Rescue doing the file transfer, I’d sleep like a baby. Or maybe better than a baby, since babies tend to wake up every few hours to eat and cry, and I wouldn’t be doing any of that. 
So, I find myself nostalgic for some peace of mind. I wonder if Peace of Mind could ever be a commodity? KIDDING!!!
