I recently counted the number of screens in my home. \u00a0Including TVs and computers of various sizes, the current count for myself, my husband and our youngest, still at home son stands at 14. \u00a0No wonder I sometimes feel frazzled and overloaded. \u00a0And when I cannot get a screen to work I just feel stupid. \u00a0I am not a big TV person but I do love the news and “talking heads.” \u00a0 I also, like the rest of the world, have discovered podcasts and Netflix. \u00a0But sometimes I just have to say enough is enough! \u00a0Unplug! \u00a0The sound of silence is still refreshing and healthy. \u00a0Ahhhh…….Gentle conversation with others, a quiet walk, a good book…with real pages! \u00a0 \u00a0I have noticed that when I unplug and slow down for a short time, my brain begins, after a bit, \u00a0to have creative thoughts and ideas again. \u00a0The pressure lessens and things look more beautiful.<\/p>\n
I think we all are like a frozen computer screen at times…we just need to be turned off for awhile. \u00a0I saw this quote by Anne Lamott in a magazine recently. \u00a0She said”Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you.” \u00a0So I shall close….time to REBOOT!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
