Instagram.
Obsessed.
It’s kind of like the new version of my blog, sadly. Of the three social media apps I use on a regular basis (Twitter, Facebook and this) — Instagram is the one I check first now.
First… my username is jnwalker1222. I realize this username breaks all kinds of blogging law because it has nothing to do with chosen or chaos. If you’ve been wondering who the random person is that’s been liking all your photos — it’s me, waving hiiiii!
Second… Babe is on it too and he somehow creates these amazing photos of our babies. Granted, our babies are pretty amazing but I think he uses three or four different apps before Instagramming them. (how long until this becomes a verb in the dictionary or at least a word that spell check recognizes?) His obsession runs a little deeper than mine if you can believe that!
Third… I’ve gotten lots of messages about my daily gratitude reflections. I stole this awesome activity from Tonya and am throwing it out there for you to steal too! It’s an app: The Gratitude Journal. It cost 99 cents. Each day you reflect on what you are grateful for from that day. You can play with the font, bullets, size, etc. I take a screen shot of the finished list (I have an iPhone, not sure how this works on other phones?) and then import the image to my Instagram feed. The beauty is in searching for things on even the worst days, when you are certain nothing good happened — it did. You just have to look for it. I did something similar many years ago at the recommendation of Oprah. I think she suggested three and I wrote mine in a journal for a week or so, maybe a month? Tonya’s been doing it since March because it’s so easy on your phone. Try it, I think you’ll agree it’s worth it!

Reason 183 why you need an iPhone.

You are why I’m never starting Instagram. I know that I’d be addicted too. Thanks for acknowledging that it’s addictive.

Totally and completely. I selfishly want you to join so I can see your pictures but fully understand why you should also stay away!
