It feels good to unplug

Last week we were in El Salvador with my mom's side of the family to celebrate Paola's graduation and to have a family reunion. We all came! It was so nice to spend time away from everything, just bonding with our family. We all were there to support Paola and the Behner's clan. There is something really comforting when you share similar experiences. I went to the American School 35 years ago and I can still remember those carefree days of High School and how it all changes in one day as you wear your cap and gown. You all of the sudden grow up!

What I like about going to El Salvador is that you are not hooked to a computer all day long. I think it is good to once in a while to unplug  from internet and cell phones and just spend time talking and getting to know other people so you can form true friendships with our own family. We get so distracted these days by our addictions to our computers and cell phones that we never take time to just talk to people about meaningful things. And the only way is ever going to happen is if we forced ourselves to make time for it and make it priority but I can tell you that is worth doing big time!

I am so grateful I got to go visit El Salvador before my sister moves to Tanzania and got to spend time with all 21 members of my extended family. I am grateful for for the amazing friends and family I am blessed to associate with in y life. And as busy as we all are, I know that when we look back at this Summer years from now we would never remember what we did if  we had stayed home that week but we would always remember attending Paola's graduation because we will remember the memories we made spending time with our dear friends and family. Those are moments we will never forget.
