Instagram. Yes, a time sink, but yes, fun and inspiring. I love watching funny cat and dog videos, but I also like listening to clips of good music, both new and vintage; watching historical videos (although, I have to be careful since one, supposedly true story, of a truck stopping a runaway plane, was a tv commercial); and yes, listening to regular people or people of history speak eloquently on how to live when life can be challenging. It helps me to believe that we will make it through this time of idiots and minions wasting our country.
Today, in yesterday's The Week Evening newsletter, I read that it can be good for us. The caveat, of course, is short bits, not hours at a time. Truth be told, ten minutes of given time usually turns into thirty, so bad on me for that. And, thank goodness, from my first days on it watching dads braid their kids' hair and folks doing 'easy' recipes (yeah, right), Instagram has gotten to know me and refrained from both now. Whew.
Belly laughs and tears from inspiration are both good reminders that life is good. We do forget that at times and we shouldn't.
