I looked just last week at Instagram again.
It was rather sad to see vibrant peeps I know kinda just seemingly "waiting" for What??? No vibrancy or energy so I bailed once again.

Same w/facebook. Happy your meal turned out lovely enough to photograph but jeez ...maybe take a walk or read a book was my general reaction.

So I'm kinda just saying TY "Coventina" for kinda confirming that one can "do better" in terms of promoting what we as individuals feel is important enuf to share.
