Till There Was You
You woke up my heart and the birds sang loudly
Till There Was You
I never knew the sound of laughter,
That could linger in the air.
Never felt the warmth of sunlight,
Till your love was standing there.
Each day had passed like waves on stone,
No meaning, no design.
But then your hand reached out to touch,
And everything felt mine.
The stars were cold, the night too long,
The seasons stayed the same.
But you, my love, your gentle grace,
Set fire to my name.
It wasn’t life, it wasn’t real,
Before your light broke through.
The world was nothing, just a shadow,
Till there was you.

What Happens To Your Brain When You Stop Multitasking
Digital technology is the culprit that is causing us to doom scroll when tired, disengaged and unmotivated with the content that motivated you to log onto your device to consume in the first place. That is only the beginning. In the modern workplace (and even when filing cabinets were around, I confirmed this with my adopted parents to get my facts right); reading files while you are supposed to be present to the caller on the other end of the phone line is another classic example of multitasking that causes your brain (although adaptable and intelligent) to lose focus and concentration.

Aww, what a beautiful pen. Marie. The words blend together so nicely. It feels like it just flew out when you wrote it, straight from the heart.
