Our family has never been huge TV watchers. But, we have had our share of favorite shows over the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember when you had to tune in at a specific time if you wanted to watch a particular show? (Yes, kids, that really used to be a thing.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my favorite inventions is the VCR, and later the DVR. It made a big change in our family dynamic when we had the option of watching our favorite TV shows at a time that was convenient for us, rather than whatever time the broadcast network decided to air them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, even the need for a DVR has largely gone by the wayside. Missed your show? That\u2019s OK. You can probably find it on Hulu, YouTube, or even the broadcast network\u2019s own on-demand streaming service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We get spoiled by this power to watch things whenever we choose, and to pause, rewind, or rewatch bits as we desire<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other day, as I was driving down the road, I was listening to the local radio station as I often do. I was mostly concentrating on the road, only half listening, when I caught the end of something they were saying that struck me as interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first response? Reach over for the pause and rewind buttons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oops. You can\u2019t do that on radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I started wondering, how many times do I drift off while being with people I love? How many times have I not been fully present, because in some part of my brain, I have been trained to think I can just hit pause, back up, and play it again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life has no pause or rewind buttons. We get one chance to experience what is happening around us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leave binge watching to episodes of your favorite series on Netflix. When you\u2019re with those you love, be present, in the moment, tuned in. Experience the moment as it happens. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
