It's funny that you used the comet as an example of your particular JOMO. Alas, Jeff and I have been looking for it on our horizon, but after a few days, we gave up. For some reason, we can't attend that party although we're seeing marvelous photos on FB of the comet AND the auroras that have been seen as low as our valley in Nevada. Oh well, I tell myself. I've seen a comet before, but WOW, look at all the red-leafed trees that are coming out this autumn. Spectacular. That's been rare too. So, I'm happy for you and your friend for being able to see the comet. That sounds like you had a lot more fun celebrating just being together and the comet was only part of that. BRAVO!
Hi Sue! It doesn't happen if you couldn't see the comment, more will happen after a while. Also, the comet was a unique moment, but going into the woods and camping was an unforgettable part of the experience. If we hadn't seen the comet, just the camping experience alone would have made it all worthwhile.
I love these quiet plans to go into nature, they really fill me with satisfaction.
I love this! JOMO! YES!! I don't watch broadcast TV, or use streaming services on my not "smart" TV..just DVD's that are I check out from the library that are interesting to me. I deleted my social media account in 2020, and grudgingly opened up a new one as it was required for a school I attended and now a way to promote my business, but I direct my audience back to Substack. I encourage them to spend time elsewhere that will not suck the life (and joy) out of them. Once I broke the spell of social media I have no desire to spend my time hanging out there. I would much rather look at tulips! ~or the beautiful Fall colors!
Hi Suzy, I agree! I have also deleted practically all my social networks, nowadays you can only find me on the networks where I write, as well as Substack and little else. I got rid of all the networks that don't align with my purposes, including Twitter and Instagram. I'm redirecting all that time I used to burn uselessly on things that do bring me value, like being with my family, friends or reading.
