I also have a flip phone, and I do not turn it on unless I want to make a call. I'm not even sure what the number is, and so I cannot give that to anyone. It does not have text capability, and I have no intention of sending texts ever, as I do not like receiving them. I use email a lot less now than I used to (at least at home) and feel no need to have any of the "apps" that I hear about. I prefer to spend time in my back yard enjoying the flowers that I have all year, and they require quite a bit of attention. I do have two battery operated timers, which will fit in a pocket, but I can have one outside by the barbeque and one inside, if necessary. Kevin generally tends to whatever is being cooked outdoors, as he enjoys making the fires/smoke, and we do cook outside quite a bit. Rain (which has been extremely rare lately) is the only thing that prevents us from cooking outdoors, now that we have more lights outside. This time of year it is easier because of increased daylight. I want to get even more lights installed outside, however, so that the entire back yard can be lit up. It very much increases our living space. I've done computer programming in the past, and so I am not a technophobe, but I like to keep computers restricted to a certain portion of my time. Lars

I love BM meditation, I used it on the trim of my house outside. I have a cream colored siding house, with the predictable black shutters and red door and white trim. I changed the trim to dover white and still wasn't happy, it took me 6 months of looking and I looked at everything but something grey/green and then 1 day the light bulb went off. That color was perfect, it went well with my roof shingles and grey-green is a great contract with yellows.I changed my shutters to a very dark Savannah green and painted my door, BM's Dinner Party. My house just pops now and looks so good with all the greens, greys, pinks in my yard. I learned a very valuable lesson that the right paint color is not one that I will naturally gravitate to.

Not sure if there's an app, but I recommend the free podcasts from Meditation Oasis...they have many meditations of various lengths and geared toward various topics such as stress or grief. I also use insight timer, though just as a timer. There's Headspace but it's not free: https://www.headspace.com/headspace-meditation-app

Whatever works for anyone is what's best for them. I like the meditations at meditation oasis. I find her voice very soothing and they do have meditations that are just voice or just music. Also I have insight timer app on my phone. You can set the time, the sound you want for stop and start and any intervals you want to set and you can select music if you want it or not. I've registered so then it tells me how many people around me were meditating when I was which is kind of fun. Weight watchers has an app called headspace...they have a small free version, but if you subscribe, of course, you can get more offerings. Another fun thing, if you haven't tried it...depending on where you live, is forest bathing which is like a walking meditation in the woods. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/lists/forest-bathing-nature-walk-health/ All of it is good.
