"Come and talk to me."
My daughter came over slowly to where I sat on the couch. My laptop was open beside me, showing some crypto market stuff.
"I want you to know, that I know I've been playing with my computer more recently than I ever used to. Have you noticed?"
An affirming nod.
"So I just wanted to say that I won't do it as much from now on. And anytime you want to, you can ask me to stop, and I'll play with you, or we'll watch the TV show or play a game together - if you want.
"Whenever you want."
My daughter gave me the biggest hug. And then we talked about all the stuff we enjoy doing together.

So, I love steemit - you probably do too. There is sooooo much that I love about it.
But there are more important things, for me - and it's too easy to forget them. It's too easy to forget her.It's too easy to be too busy to really hear my daughter when she's talking to me.
She's 8, you see. And she is the most precious thing in my life.
I love steemit - but these years are so precious. The day is coming when she won't be my little girl anymore. She'll be grown up and I will be wishing I was just here for her more when I had the chance.
Life is so precious.
So, here is my promise to her. No more being distracted.
❤️I love you my baby girl❤️

Stay tuned for an exciting # steemofconsciousness initiative.
