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!

The weather here in upper northwest New England has been beautiful this week, read under the shade of a tree perfect. So off to the library I go for a good book to read.

For two titles I’m on the waiting list. The third is a charm,  presently waiting for me to go back outside and get it out of my vehicle.  🥴 

I’m writing this post on Wednesday instead of putting it off until Friday.

Start a fun weekend on Friday!
