Hi Janet. Good ONYA!

This is my email "signature" quote which is attributed to Thomas Edison but it probably wasn't him who wrote it or ever said it. (yeah. I know he was a thief but it's a good quote so...)

5% of the people think; 10% of the people think they think; and the other 85% would rather die than think.

You're probably in the 5% category.

Well, I like to think I'm a thinking, thoughtful person. But. I think too much! & it wears me out.

Oh my goodness. I could’ve written this myself! I have the same reaction when I start my day off with email, Substack, social media, etc. With me, it makes me want to start responding to things or writing Notes, to fight. 🥊 Literally, my adrenaline starts kicking in, and that is not how I want to start my day.😩

So, I start off with my Biblical devotions as much as I can…to be quiet, to be centered before I join the day’s fray. It’s sooo helpful, but hard doing it daily. I continue to chug along, though.😉
