My senses are on social media and internet overload. I have had my nose in my ipad and iphone for the entire day and much of last week, while the kids have been sick. I started feeling weighted down this evening by the ever-checking of posts, and the amazon deals of the day. Kidding- well kind of! I am the type of person who becomes very sensitive, after reading one too many awful news articles. I begin to carry other people’s burdens as if they were my own. That can’t be healthy, and I feel the toll it takes on my heart and body. 

I took a 1 month break from my devices, at the end of last school year. I realized how much more engaged with the “here and now” I became. It helped with my depression and my spiritual walk with Christ. So, I am signing off for at least a few days. Everything in moderation, right? 

I will be playing hands of Uno, reading Duck and Goose books, taking trail walks, writing a few thank you cards, buying snow boots, having lunch with my husband, and focusing on my Savior and his plans for my walk with Him- just a few things to get me started.
