Priorities
;)
An abreviated list of things I did when the instagramz broke (which was all of last week after updating to iOS7, before completely restoring my phone):
- worked on my looming deadlines (completed all on time and three things actually early)
- made pie
- looked out the window
- finished the Junot Diaz book I was reading, started Edwidge Danticat’s new novel
- watched wife launch this amazing photo project and the video she made for it, felt proud of her and these past two years of hard work
- went to bed with book-tired eyes, not phone-zapped eyes
- got frustrated that the instagramz was broken and uninstalled/reinstalled it no less than 7 times
- talked to the neighbors
- ate nearly all my meals without photographing them
- dusted my bedside table
- borrowed wife’s phone to ‘gram here and there, lest other instagrammers think I’m dead
- listened to and smelled the rain and felt lucky
Reminder duly noted, I could certainly spend less time pressing that little button with a heart in the middle and spend more time looking at and for things that refresh my heart.

We all need that reminder - thanks!
Most of us need a little tech-break once in awhile, whether forced or self-imposed. Book-tired eyes are the best kind!
