Hi there,

Sorry for skipping last week; I am running out of things to say.

Five things to share:

  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 are looking for Reasons to Be Cheerful.

  3. A quote I want to share with you:

    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 (Source)

    Oof!

  4. What’s even better than a book summary app? A friend reading out-loud snippets of a book that they think you would 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.
