Time...a funny thing

I wish we could just stop time. Not because I want to stay young forever, on the contrary but to suspend certain moments, feelings and vibes. With my life the way it is...very busy, always on the go...I just wan to stop. I want time to stop; where one day can last a month, where I can truly say "I'm ready for this day to end and a new one to begin". I rarely feel that way. We live life on so many levels and if we are speeding through it all, how can we absorb and process all that occurs on all those many levels? Time needs to stop. This I know is purely irrational but I believe we can attain that sense of time stopping, if only for brief moments. I know what I have to do to get to this point. I must step out of the flow of my busy life...away from all forms of communication and technology, machinery etc. and just be. A challenge, true but achievable.
STOP TIME

Teen Language of SMS & the Net

Having teenaged kids I am exposed to this new type of communication, language. I tell you, I've been witness to some horrible spewing vitrol. Don't get me wrong I love the net and being able to sms on my cell phone but what it removes is accountabilty and responsibilty. Kids feel they can say anything damning, sexual and just plain filthy without any thought of how hurtful this type of language can be. The power of words seems completely lost on our kids and I feel at a loss in communicating this to them. I'm not against swearing but the level in which our kids are swearing I don't think I could acheive if I really worked at it.

What do we do as parents and adults?
