Awareness (Grammar)

Evidence that we’re aware of, and distracted by, grammar errors even if we don’t actively notice them. I can tell you they distract me, but then I usually notice them.

Mood Management (Life)

We live busy, often harsh, lives and remembering to reconnect with the positive is important. This article points out some ways to do that and all of them are within reach of pretty much everyone:

Foot Movement (Science)

    Heh. I was expecting to find the National Gallery of Art site shut down, as the NASA one is. Pleased to find I was mistaken. Also check out the Getty Museum’s collection.

    The mood management article reminded me I should go take a B vitamin. I’ve been lax lately.

      Yes, well, I set up my interesting links sometimes months in advance. When I saw that one, I clicked to make sure it wouldn’t end in a “you’re not allowed to be here” message. They do have a note at the top that says essentially, “no one is here to help you because of the shutdown.”

      Thanks for the other link. I’ll check it out.

      And vit B. Hmm, I don’t take any of that. Potassium is my go to :).
