Today I am taking a pledge to not text and drive. I feel like this is a positive way to make driving, being on the roads and highways a lot more safer. I was watching a t.v. show, I forget what it was, but the guy asked everyone to take a look at their last message and decide if it was worth putting your life in danger. Many saw that it wasn't including me.

I gave up texting and driving a while back. I will admit it was so hard to do. It seemed as if the world just kind of slowed down and that text message would just be urging me speed it all back up. I would always hear the ringer go off and just have urge to reply. Right then and there I knew I had to fight that pain of not replying. In my head there were thoughts of what if the one text really needed me to reply. Or it has to be important. It was only getting harder.

One day a solution came to me. It was how about silence your phone that way your listening to your radio and you wouldn't hear it. It worked great. I missed a lot of calls and texts but I can say that I'm still living.

    Thanks for taking the pledge. I like the idea of silencing your phone when you are driving. That's really a good idea.
