Bits of Being

thoughts on life, faith, family….and, yes, just learning to "be"

Friday’s Full-of-Gratitude List

= 2540

For social media…

…catching glimpses into the lives of family and friends

…some near, some far, some I see in person, some I don’t

…catching a highlight, a joyful moment

…catching a tragedy, a need for prayer

…seeing a piece of their heart in a photo or a word or a meme or even an emoji

 

Letting go of social media for a day a week in our house…

…seeing changes in attitudes

…more time to play and create

…focusing on real conversations and face-to-face interactions

…not expecting Facebook to be the most familiar face I see

…not letting the immediacy of Instagram take away the impressivec beauty of a shared cup of tea or a handwritten note

Finding balance in life…

…between solitude and socialization

…between contemplation and conversation

…between relaxation and rushing to the next activity

…between breathing space and busyness

…between downtime and duties

…between giving and gaining

What are you thankful for today?
