Hi everyone! This is my third week sharing coloring pages from the soon-to-be-released Tiny Buddha’s Gratitude Journal (available for pre-order now). Previously, I shared the nature coloring page and the vacation coloring page.
This one’s a no-brainer for me. Though I could live without it (did it for over twenty-five years!), I’m most grateful for my iPhone—which I use most frequently to manage Tiny Buddha’s social media pages and my inboxes on the go, read eBooks, track my steps, and listen to music and guided meditations.
If you had told me in high school I’d one day own one device that would replace my computer, my alarm clock, my camera, my pedometer, and everything on my book shelf, I would have asked what you were on (and if you had any left).
Though I was a late iPhone adopter, using a flip phone for an embarrassingly long amount of time, I’ve had one for quite a while now, yet it still blows my mind how much it simplifies my life.
I’ve had to work at being mindful with technology, as it’s pretty tempting to mindlessly surf when I’m bored, agitated, or feeling anything I’d rather avoid. But even this is a gift, in a way, as every time I check my iPhone, I have a reminder to check in with myself.
What’s your favorite gadget, and why?

Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine. 
Of course I could live without them, but the first two that came to mind are my Instant Pot (an electric pressure cooker) and my Vitamix blender. My iPhone 6 and iPad Air are the third and fourth items. Oh, and my ATM bank card!
I just Googled “Vitamin blender.” I can see why that’s one of your favorites! I can’t imagine living without my bank card. I don’t even carry cash these days. (Though I use my credit card more often to get sky miles. I usually end up with two free flights a year!)
