Reason to be cheerful

Less apps, more human connection

sanity >>>>>

Hi there,

Sorry for skipping last week. I’m running out of things to say.

Below are five things I thought were worth sharing this week:

1. I want to write more for the internet, but real life keeps distracting me. A few posts from the archive:

   • The loneliest place

   • Laugh or log off

   • From a smartphone to a flip phone

   • Should you delete social media? That’s the wrong question.

2. If you’re looking for Reasons to Be Cheerful.

3. A quote I want to share with you this week:

   “You can’t write — or live — if you imagine the whole world watching over your shoulder, waiting for you to screw up, ready to mock or vilify you. Which, thanks to the internet, it now is.”
   — Tim Kreider (found here)

   Oof.

4. What’s even better than a book summary app? Your husband reading out loud snippets of a book that he thinks you’d find it interesting.

   Less apps, more human connection.

5. A question for you: What is your reason to be cheerful this week?

That’s all for this week! 

Thank you for reading, and please share with anyone you think may benefit.
