TMI of Another Kind
Today I am grateful for laughter among colleagues and for things falling into place on their own at times.
I am revisiting TMI for a third post, after this one and then another one a couple weeks ago. This TMI is not too much information, but rather too many images.

Too many pictures, photos, graphics inundate those of us in the developed world on our various screens. I certainly appreciate seeing pictures of loved ones and friends, or videos of Sam or Leo in action. But everywhere we turn in this culture, we see images, many of which aren't even real.
We become desensitized. We become unrealistic in our expectations of how we should look and act. It does impact our young people. It does impact all of us.
Images only tell us so much. A Facebook post of smiling friends. A radiant couple on a winter trip to warmer climates. A hilarious pet picture. A scenic view.
It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words. But with many thousands of pictures at our disposal, I think we have lost something. A few words, spoken or written sincerely, are sometimes worth more than a thousand pictures.
