The Americans and Mr. Robot

This #thankyouthursday, I am grateful for relaxing distractions (aka entertainment).

Specifically, today I am grateful for the shows The Americans and Mr. Robot, which I’ve just begun to enjoy. But really, I appreciate anything that gives my brain a break.

I don’t watch a lot of TV. I’d usually rather read or play piano or “do something productive.”

(Related: I am finally starting to edit the draft of the manuscript I wrote last year!)

But guess what? Rest is productive too.

And while watching TV may not be the PUREST form of rest, sometimes it’s the best I can do.

It can be a stressful world out there. There’s a lot worth attending to. (See: Evicted, The Marshall Project, The Sun Does Shine.)

So relax when you can.

Love > fear,
