In my family we call each other regularly, or chat in some form. It helps us stay balanced by knowing what is going on in someone else's life. We know when to support, listen, or listen less to each other by knowing whats going on.
Without modern technology I would definitely be lost. It is the only way I can communicate with my family daily. Whether it's through Facebook, Cell phone calls, or texting, o
r even blogs I am always able to know what is going on in someone's life.
Another way that we maintain normalcy or homeostasis is by keeping traditions alive. In my family I don't ever remember ever reading scriptures together or having Family Home Evening, but I do always remember looking forward to traditions and knowing that they were a time that we could share our love for one another without having to outright say it. Going to Hershey Park Pennsylvania, or waking up to green t
reats on st. patricks day were all things that I looked forward to when I was growing up and they are things that I cherish the most as become an adult.
