I don't have much to say about media this week--I was so swamped with homework and work that I didn't have time to engage much. However, as I went running and as I've tried to run farther and push myself harder each day, music has played a huge role in my ability to run. For some reason, I just CANNOT run if I'm not listening to music! I think it has to do with the fact that it keeps me on pace and keeps my mind off of the fact that my body wants to stop. So this week I've been grateful for music and its support in my fitness.
My sister lives out in Maryland with our one and only, famous nephew. My parents, siblings, and I are totally obsessed with him and are so upset that we can't be close to see him grow up, but we FaceTime them often individually and at family gatherings to stay close and connected. What a great blessing that is! My husband and I have plans to move next June for medical school and I've pondered about what it might be like when we are away from family and starting our own family. Sometimes I am sad when I think about the fact that we won't be able to be physically close to them or be able to go to family gatherings; however, I am grateful for technology and media these days so we can stay connected and allow are kids to get to know our family personally. I'm grateful specifically for FaceTime for allowing for (almost) face to face contact with family.
