I just lost something, something upon which I have relied day in and day out for eight months. In the losing process, I realized–with the panic that set in upon the realization of its missing–that it wasn’t so much that I was reliant upon that thing, but dependent upon it. While it is replaceable, I am unable to attain another one for several days and so have to live without it for a bit. As I was fluttering in the discomfort of not being able to rely upon my trusted companion, I had an attitude about-face. Instead of wallowing, I realized that I could just change my routine, adjust my habits, and find new resources so that I could still pursue the projects in my life with which this missing object assisted me. Embracing that idea has given me peace.
This experience captures some of the astrological energy of the day, with Neptune and Jupiter squaring the Taurus Moon. Consider what in your life you have actually gained by losing something, and how the feeling inherent in the freedom of detachment turned out to be of much greater value than that which you were separated from.

Stephanie,
I was recently at a culinary farm program in Eastern Washington and had no cell phone service, no wifi, nothing. And it was incredibly freeing! I loved not being tied to my keyboard/e-mail/phone. Despite the hard work, it was the most restful few days I’ve had in many years!
Hope you have a wonderful day!
