34,000 feet in the air [absolutely random]

So I just had to write a blog post because while I have used wifi on the airplane before I had never written a blog post about it nor written a blogpost on the airplane…… so I really wanted to.

It amazes me how far we have come in what is relatively a short period of time.  Of course, being so connected isn’t always a good thing but when you have work you need to get done and are on an airplane, wifi is extremely convenient.  It also amazes me that people are constantly complaining about slow internet speeds, not having wifi etc. when we have more internet than we know what to do with.  Speeds are super fast compared to just 10 years ago, we have a mini-computer on us constantly and we can check our email basically anywhere.  I think people tend to have an entitlement attitude that since they know it is available it should always be working.  While, yes, it can be inconvenient sometimes when it doesn’t- it isn’t going to kill you.

I think instead of being mad when things don’t work we should be amazed.  I am sitting on an airplane, flying above the clouds, on a computer and writing a blog post.  Most of these things existed even 20 years ago (the computer did but obviously it was completely different! and the airplane :)  I am able to look out at the sunshine as I fly (yes, we fly) in the sky and I can enjoy the Lord’s beautiful earth from a vantage point that I don’t see everyday on the ground.  Pretty amazing if you ask me.  :)

In totally random news I found some pretty cool (or dorky whichever way you look at it) shea infused ladybug socks yesterday that I thought would be great to keep my feet warm on the flight.  Just in case you were wondering, they are working.
