It really does help rejuvenate me. This is such a great thing for us all to do so we can be refreshed for life. I always take one day on the weekend to focus on unplugging.

For us it is dinner together every night and game night once a week or another activity. It seems as if the world is against us when it comes to family time. The best time ever we had as a family was when our T.V. was broke. Now what does that tell ya?! I think this is the most important thing we all can do.

I was overseas this summer and had NO cell phone and went on the internet like once for an hour- it was absolutely spectacular. What an amazing idea to cut off technology as a rule like that.

My best bud Gayle brought me to temple, taught me how to use her kitchen (which was kosher) and even brought me on a "march to Jerusalem" which was a fund raiser for her temple (I won a 10 speed bike). I used to wish I was Jewish because I was so drawn to the ritual of the religion.My family does not practice anything like you describe. I have been feeling very separated from my daughter of late (I LOVE THE TEEN YEARS!!) and I wonder if we had something like that if maybe..... perhaps everyone could benefit from Shabbat... regardless of their religion!Oh, hey - since your post is sort of religious in origin I wondered if I could ask you a question? I thought it was against Jewish law to have a tattoo? I noticed that you had one (haha). when I was young I attended a high school that had a large Jewish population in the student body.

Tonight we're taking the little one on a "Christmas Light Run" through our neighborhood. He'll get to see lights and we'll get exercise. We've decided to start venturing out to other neighborhoods later this week. We get family times through runs and walks in the evenings and weekends!

I can almost feel the rest of your Friday evenings eminating from my computer screen.I don't do this for myself. Unplugging I mean. Being connected through blogs, facebook, twitter, texts. They have really become a major form of "human" connection for me. The first thing I do when I wake up is check my phone for Twitter messages. Lately I have started to realize this is probably not healthy and that my relationships "in real life" suffer. So this post was very timely for me to read.I need to make some unplugged time for myself during the week. Really great post.

Even my phone gets up to date emails, so I never have time where I'm not looking at them or watching tv or working on the computer. (ok, do have the bathroom time, but not much!) I thought I was doing good not using the computer at night, but as I think about it I use my phone instead. *sigh* This is a great reminder to slow down and take some real me/us time.

Thanks for the look into your friday night ritual. I think that is really, really important. I know a lot of families that NEVER unplug and spend time together without technology intruding. I want my family in the future to have at least one night where we do this, if not more. :) That’s great. Thanks for the look into your friday night ritual. I think that is really, really important.
