I Forgot
I remember thinking up a topic to write about the other day, but I've since forgotten what it was. It was really good, though. Pretend I wrote it, and you loved it.
I've been thinking a lot about my use of social media. My brother spoke in church yesterday and quoted from Elder Bednar's talk "Things as They Really Are," which was already one of my favorite talks b/c it's one that I desperately need reminding of frequently. I had already been feeling lately that I spend too much time looking at Facebook and Instagram instead of spending time with my family, and yesterday was a confirmation to me that, yes... you do. Fix it.
I've tried to spend less time on my phone today. I'm not saying that I stayed off it completely. I'm pretty weak. But I've done better than usual. I've gotten a lot accomplished today with the help of my kids. I taught them how to do chores they hadn't done before, and it felt good to teach them instead of just telling them to leave me alone while I look at my phone. That makes me sound like a horrible mom.
So, yeah, I have a weakness for social media, and I'm trying to remedy it. I've thought about doing a social media fast, but I also use it for church things, so I don't know... hmmm...
I sure wish I could remember what I was going to write about b/c it was going to be awesome. Sorry you had to read this, instead.
