Grounded

As adults we can see being grounded for the gift it is at times. Imagine, having the time without distractions such as televisions, iPads, laptop computers, instant messaging and adult responsibilities, just to sit in our rooms writing.

Of course, as children we railed at this injustice. The person or persons keeping us from the bigger world had too much power. Why is it, then, that we often give so much power to distractions now?

If you put those days down in a diary or journal when you were young, go back to rediscover the straightforward writing that came with being "forced" to sit still and think.
