I appreciate your thoughts on this Amy! I'm so introverted by nature that I feel like I never know how to talk to people in person especially after I do it all day as a job. But I think it's so important for us humanly to feel connected and understood when we have that time. It's crazy how the internet has dismantled our ability to spend that time and our awareness of the need for it..
ps seeing pics of y'all together made me so happy!
I am also so introverted and also totally understand the exhaustion coming home from a job where you're interacting with people all day! And you come home to little people too! I think maybe that's why I emphasized the intentionality...because I have to do this. If I can stop myself from reaching for my phone, take some time to be quiet, and consider if there is anyone on my heart (or the Lord's!) to reach out to in that moment, then usually that contact is more meaningful (which means a lot to my introverted heart) and intentional. ps. I was thinking about you because I knew you'd be so happy to see the pics! :D
I was glad we had a few moments of, "whole person time," in the hallway! 😊

I like that phrase “whole person time”. That is what we all need. To see and be seen as a whole person.
