Daily Thoughts 02/04/2021

I checked the library Twitter and Facebook Group this morning.

I read some more of Stay Woke.  I am doing exercises on negative thinking where I identify destructive thoughts.

I also read some more of The Human Cosmos Civilization and the Stars.  I am reading about the beginnings of astrophysics.

I am looking to going back to work on Monday.
