Welcome interruption?

Thanks, M. 
The world is (extra) a lot right now, so here's a smiling dragon my toddler granddaughter drew for me. 

You're welcome. And may this interrupt your doomscrolling. 

(Ever think about how our phones are kind of like our refrigerators? The fridge pictures displayed tell about the best goings-on in our lives: first ultrasounds, wedding invites, Christmas family pics, travel photos, love notes...but the pictures in our phones often mirror the worst goings-on in the world. Dear friends, don't forget to spend a little time reflecting on your fridge "algorithm" too.)

  2. I think that I scroll enough to be aware, but I almost always just get the gist of it while staying out of the comment section. We all need to find a balance between awareness and chilling.

  3. My phone's wallpaper is Jack with his poppa and Jack with me. Always makes me smile when I open my phone. I don't spend a lot of time reading the news on my phone, very little actually, but I do spend a lot of time watching cat and dog videos on instagram:)
    Your granddaughters dragon is wonderful. Thank you for sharing it.

    1. Yes to kids and partners and cats and dogs...all good for the fridge in the kitchen or in your pocket.

  4. I hadn't thought about my phone being like a refrigerator, but the analogy makes sense. I choose to keep my camera roll upbeat and positive.

  6. Why is the dragon smiling? I thought dragons usually breathe lots of fire and look menacing. He is cute, though.

  7. That is an awesome dragon - especially for a toddler to draw - what talent! You've made a good point about what things we choose to feed our souls.

  8. I have never thought of our phones becoming our refrigerators, but you are right in the aspect that it displays what is going on in our lives while our refrigerator is free of any clutter.
