I was extremely tense last week with the inauguration stuff. I don't get any news from Facebook but I'm totally addicted to Twitter for the links I get to good articles and columns.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-18468948285599990882017-01-24T11:45:33.734-08:002017-01-24T11:45:33.734-08:00Interesting distinction between truth and fact.

Glad to see your knitting needles are flying. I developed a sore arm last week and finally decided it was because I was tensed up as I tried to knit while the inauguration loomed closer and closer.

A very few insist on subscription to be able to read, but not many. I have a digital subscription to NYT, Washington Post, and the New Yorker.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-41063949862198870722017-01-24T03:53:22.255-08:002017-01-24T03:53:22.255-08:00I believe in staying informed but I have determine...I believe in staying informed but I have determined that does not mean reacting to everything that pops up on FaceBook and Twitter -- that is just reacting.

I often find links on Twitter to articles in the WP that I want to read.

There is so much to take in, and I don't want to miss anything important, but I also want to have a life. I have to find a balance. <br />I am contemplating an online subscription to the Washington Post, but I can't get all the reading done that I want to now.

Light coming from the right causes shadows. Perhaps if I were left handed I'd like light over the right shoulder, don't know.

We have a lot of windows and I use several kinds of lighting so I'm not usually bothered too much by cloudy days if a sunny day comes along now & then. I have problems in the summer if the temps go high enough to need a/c. I find that very depressing.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-36123397364293227372017-01-23T15:30:22.746-08:002017-01-23T15:30:22.746-08:00Glad the weather has taken a turn for the better. ...Glad the weather has taken a turn for the better. It's amazing how a sunny day can make our spirits soar! <br /><br />When I was still working, I went through a difficult time when my dad died. I just could not raise my spirits. I bought one of those light therapy lamps and did 30 minutes every day prior to going to work.<br /><br />Once I retired, I no longer needed it. I had plenty of access to being outdoors and getting enough sunlight. Also, I was happier because I was no longer working!Carolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237805282007404140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-23329900226594096832017-01-23T15:10:31.734-08:002017-01-23T15:10:31.734-08:00I've tol that truth/fact story many times over...I've tol that truth/fact story many times over the years.
