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,
