After last night’s sleep out, I made sure to be awake tonight. As I type, it is 10:20 PM EDT, 16 February 2026. There is nothing on television I care to watch until after the eleven o’clock news. I do like to view some of the Olympics.
Watching.
YouTube and Instagram has been interesting in two aspects. Daydreaming, hinging on things I see that interests me, varies more when watching Instagram than YouTube. The other is observing, how passing from one interest to another flows as I view both.
A big picture emerges that I watch too much television.
Reading. I never feel that way when I read books. I don’t recall ever in my life thinking or saying that I do too much reading.
Yay for books!

Yay for books! I love seeing our grandchildren are avid readers.
ReplyDeleteMarie,
DeleteThe balance of book vs TV is rather striking. I think it shows where the mind is meant to be.

I smiled at TV vs. books. I feel exactly the same way!
ReplyDeleteJeanie,
DeleteSadly for me, I don’t read enough. I will after this revelation.
