Sadness Avoiding Tip #127-Two For One Monday

In volume 2 of "How To Avoid Being Sad" I talk about all the new-fangled toys and tools out there.
I am a bigger fan of getting to say 'new-fangled' than I am of some of these gadgets.

Case in point, reading a book without pages.
I know, I know, the KINOOKY thing is FABULOUS. I don't doubt it.

But today's sadness avoiding tips are dedicated to:

#1) Kicking it Old School*
*a phrase just about as much fun to say as new-fangled
Do something that doesn't rely and require that you are plugged in, wired, wi-fi'ed.
Watch a show when it is actually ON t.v.
Send a real letter in the mail.
Stop by someone's desk or room or whatever to ask a question instead of texting it..(or at least call and talk to a voice)

and

#2) Read a bit of a real book. A REAL one. Even if it is just for 10 minutes before you go to sleep. Pull down a book from the shelf, blow the dust off, and crack the cover.

Your NOOKINDLE will be there tomorrow.
