We all look like this

I see people on bicycles keep checking their cellphones while they are weaving in and out of traffic, not to mention people in cars being honked at because they didn’t notice the light has changed.  It is sooooooo hard not to look, especially if we get a text, or just to see what is happening on social media, maybe even a work email that we have to get to.  Life is so non stop and although our smart phones have made it amazing to be reachable, get instant information, and to multitask, there is really no such thing.  Yes a million things can be happening at once, but we can only do them one at a time. Every Friday night I put my phone away until Saturday night, it is very hard, but I am so happy that I have taken upon myself to commit to t, and I literally can take a deep breath and know the world can wait one day.

If you are not doing this already, give your self a gift of one day off.  It is amazing how most people work so hard during the week, and on the weekend it is either running errands, watching shows, or going out to party.  It all sounds fun and was fun when I was single, but especially now as a married mom and with a busy work week, my one day completely off is something I 

count down to.

The computer goes off,

The TV goes off,

The phone goes off,

The car and car keys are in their spots,

We walk everywhere,

Have conversations,

Enjoy meals together,

Dress nice,

Look each other in the eye and talk about the blessings in our lives.

The best part is that this is every week, not once a year, every week we have a big celebration with friends and family.  Everyone is looking forward to Thanksgiving and the holidays coming up, and seeing their family that they maybe do not see all year.  Make time for your friends, make time for your family, make it something that is part of your life.  I feel so blessed that my kids look forward to our day of rest too, they love it as much as I do.

Enjoy your weekend,

Shabbat Shalom,
