Lisa, when my little one’s were small, and could understand my requests of them, we would go out side and play, then when we would come inside, I would ask them, did you see the beautiful cloud shapes outside? Their response “No Mommy” I was playing with you. Then we would go back out side and spread a blanket on the ground and lay down looking up and we would make shapes out of the clouds When my daughter who is now 44 was 16 she said “I looked up to day”,
and I saw something I never would have seen mom if you had not taught me to look up.
I love that so much, your comment gave me goosebumps!
As a general rule of thumb or practice, I rarely walk around looking down at my phone. If I get alerted that there is a new e-mail I will take the phone out of the case to see what the message is. The only other time I look at the phone is to check the battery strength or to see what song I want to play on YouTube. I never watch the video. As far as the sun goes it hurts my eyes so I never look up at it. Just as I don’t like to walk around with my head down I certainly would not want to walk around looking at the sky.I am not fond of rain on my face. At 61 years of age, I tend to get grouchy.
Funny I was talking to a friend about that mainly with reference to I phones. We were walking down a sidewalk and 100% of the people we passed were looking down at their phone . Great article
I’m guilty of it as well but try to make an effort in specific situations to not have to look at my phone. It’s hard in this day and age but it can be done. Thank you for the comment!
