I Can't Get Off Instagram

I don't want help.                            

I don't need help.

I found Instagram.

I learned Instagram.

I love Instagram.                        

I need Instagram.


Instagram is my new friend, habit, creative outlet, connection to like minded visually stimulated brilliant observers of life.



And there is #NOTHINGwrongwiththat 



Join me or just look in and follow me.....

Some of my favorite # (hashtags)    #blackdog  #socal  #barnporn  #cloudysky   #socal #portland  #tbt (throwback thursday) (a photo taken before that day/moment, preferably vintage)

My favorite images are sky, sea, cups of coffee (not so much mine as others), food and the preparation of meals, architecture, art, design, trees,.... no limit really.

It's too early in the Instagram game to list images I am not interested in... as I have learned on social media to be polite.

I feel that blogland is again calling me to write.
I look forward to separating, pulling myself away,
taking maybe an entire day away from....

But that would be like a day without texting instead of calling. 

I must give it a try.  Or join a 12 step program.

Cheers to our future!  Linda  :-D (I still don't Emoji)
