I've learned about these recently. Bids for connection. It's important with a spouse also. I think it's where the whole viral bird theory came in. I love this post so much though. it's so easy with technology to get sucked in and say just a minute or wait till XYZ.

It really is. Bryan and I like a lot of opposite things and I've been keeping this thought tucked in my pocket lately.

Gosh, this is lovely! This is the first post of yours I've commented on because it truly resonated so much with me (I love all your other content, but dang this hit). Such great perspective and a great reminder in this exhausting season of young kids to slow down and connect.

Thank you so much. It’s wild out there. Sometimes taking time to notice is the pause we all need.
