In hiding ourselves in our electronic devices we miss truly seeing and hearing the family, friends and world on our own doorstep. I stand guilty as charged! My external life is limited due to health problems and (to my shame) I tend to communicate more with friends online than with those IRL. <br />Time spent on devices eats into more hours than it should and I have been making a deliberate effort this year to switch off, listen and enjoy life as it is around me. Setting boundaries helps us to recharge our own batteries and enjoy the natural beauty of sunsets, clouds, flowers and every delight of nature God has provided for us.

I find this a battle in my own house as well (sometimes I forget the boundaries, too) and this will give me a story to remind myself of what really matters.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701362919026534336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268865280167455181.post-91205412057411254082014-02-24T11:17:23.791-07:002014-02-24T11:17:23.791-07:00Hi Dionne!

He was in high school pretty far away, so it made sense. OY...the bills, the texting...there was a can of worms. I'm so glad we also set boundaries (although he and his sister crossed them from time to time!). I don't want them to miss a sunset either!<br /><br />Thoughtful post today :)<br />CeilCeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06293917798735764739noreply@blogger.com
