Look around your home, I'll give you a minute. If we take stock of all the "stuff" that we have, how do we have time for anything else. In these days in times, our worth is often measured by what we have. We work for flat screen tv's, Ipods, computers, PDA's with this kind of technology when do we have time to talk to one another, why talk when you could text..... We always wonder why families were stronger in the 50's-70's, they didnt have all this stuff. They ate breakfast and dinner together everyday, which sparks conversation and interaction. When you take this element out of family you suffer in detrimental ways. You lose control of whats going on in your kids life, they feel a disconnect to you and the relationship doesnt have the same bond. For one week could we not watch television, not get online, not use cell phones but do other activities that includes everyone in the family that requires interaction, physical acitivies, games ...actual talking?
Can we simplify our life......Is this possible? If you free up your life with some of the "stuff" you make room for more meaningful things..
