Watching versus Reading

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!

    1. Marie,
      The balance of book vs TV is rather striking. I think it shows where the mind is meant to be.

    1. Jeanie,
      Sadly for me, I don’t read enough. I will after this revelation.
