Am I Too Social?
I recently bought a new ring at Pandora. Soon as I was finished with the purchase I took a picture, with the intent to post it on social media.
In my effort to try to disconnect, even a little, I stopped to think if I really needed to post it. For the first time I thought, shouldn't I let the kid see it first instead of seeing it on social media with everyone else? I now wonder how many times she found out about anything I've purchased or received via social media and not a conversation that we could have in person.
So I didn't post the picture, we were having lunch anyway. I mean, the important people should know first.
I love social media, but I do realize it causes complications. I can't even imagine what growing up would be like seeing everyone's perfect life all the time.
One Sunday I challenged myself and put a timer on my social media access. First an hour, then two hours, then four hours, and now I can put it down for the night to be present. I think it's a challenge I will continue.
Behold, You have made my days as (short as) hand widths, and my lifetime is as nothing in Your sight.
