I think I have always been a pretty introspective person, but I know I have become even more so after beginning to work from home full-time. All the silence around me gives time and space to think in between the work I have to get done, and I end up reflecting a lot on myself and the world around me. Monday Musings has become my space to share what I've been learning, and for those of you who have followed from the beginning, I'm sure you've seen my heart and mind molded slowly over time.

One thing I've noticed this year, more than ever, is the effect my phone has on me. I have taken some measures to reduce its impact. Right now I check social media twice a day only, and oftentimes when I'm working I'll put my phone on silent. I try to refrain from answering texts or emails while I'm spending intentional time with Nathan, though this is an area where I need to try a little harder.

Having a phone has led to a much shorter attention span, for me and everyone around me...
