Resolution.

Time goes by so fast. Sometimes I wish I could slow it down and freeze it for just a little while. That's why I like to take pictures to document my life, but sometimes the camera just gets in the way. Sometimes it becomes a distraction, and sometimes it ruins the mood for everyone. It's stints like this that I don't blog as often and stuff piles up.

Then there's my iPhone. It's always on me somewhere. I can't seem to sit still without pulling out my phone at least once. I know it's not only me who is guilty of this. Do I really have that short of an attention span? Ick.

To resolve this constant battle of mine I want to try to be a little better this year. I created an "unplugged jar" for our home. The iPhones go in the jar when we are eating dinner, watching a movie, talking about each other's day, or on a date. I would like to also leave it in there over night. We have created a lame habit of going to bed with our iPhones and waking up to check Instagram. This time could be better spent talking, reading, or praying--or better yet, sleeping! No screens in the bedroom seems like a wise idea.

So here's to 2014 and making a special effort to not focus on crap that doesn't really matter. It's time I start looking up and monitoring my media use. I don't know how you all do it, but wish me luck!
