iphone or no iphone

i want to keep my life as simple as possible. and the modus operandi of our household is 'buy in cash if we can't live without it.' so the impulse is to say no to iphone. just then i remember something. i have a tendency to go all or nothing, all-in or all-out. as i pull my attention back to my breathing movement and consciously adjust it to deeper inbreaths and longer outbreaths i realize the former might be reckless, irresponsible and the latter might be fear-based. how to find out whether i am making a decision in a fearless yet balanced manner? take a pause, get a little distance, make sure i am anchored in clear-headed calm, examine together with hubby the numbers and our needs. we'll figure out a way if there is a strong case for it. somewhere along this contemplation i catch sight of the weekly horoscope: one-day-at-a-time, stay positive, be direct and...allow the situation to unfold...be patient.

aaaah. as long as i am in the house of the Self, guidance can come in all forms and from all directions.
