Today, I’m thankful for the Scribd app. If you aren’t familiar, the Scribd app gives you access to tons of books, magazines, and audio books. I read a bunch of books each year, and this saves me a lot of money. I am reading two books right now that retail for $15 each on Amazon right now. So the $8.99 I pay each month is well worth it. I like reading a few books at a time, so this service is terrific. Here’s a link if you’d like to check it out. https://www.scribd.com/

If you are an avid reader, who wants to save a few bucks, I’d highly recommend Scribd. I read about 60 books a year, and most of them are on Scribd. I am not an affiliate and get ZERO dollars if you join up, but trust me, this is a terrific service. You can also download this app to your tablets and phone. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten my reading done sitting in a dental or doctor’s office. For a really good combination, you can listen to a song or two on Apple Music or Spotify, if you get these music services. I enjoy reading with either a focus or some other purely instrumental genre in the background. From time-to-time I’ll listen to classical, but for the most part, calming instrumentals that aren’t too “busy” work great for me.

Another great companion to reading is the Kindle and Goodreads apps. Most of my friends and colleagues use both of these, and it’s a great way to track what you’ve read, and share it with friends and like-minded folks, who enjoy the same genres you do. If you have a Goodreads account, it’ll automatically track what you read on the Kindle, but you can add books manually, particularly those you read on Scribd if you choose to try it out.

Well, that’s it for today, folks. Happy Reading!

Until next time…

Daily Ramblings – Daily Quotes

Dalai Lama, gratefulness, Gratitude, kindness, respect

“In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.” – Dalai Lama

“When you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect toward others.” – Dalai Lama

“Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.” – Dalai Lama

Happy Earth Day! I hope everyone is having a terrific weekend.

I wanted to post these quotes from the Dalai Lama. They offer advice about being positive and having a positive vision, being grateful and how it helps us see everything in a more positive light, and kindness.

I start my day with my gratitude journal (5-minute journal). It really makes a difference when you start your day thinking about how grateful you are for the many things that are already in your life. I end my day the same way, thinking about all of the great things that happened and expressing my gratitude for the privilege of living on this Earth one more day.

Have a great day everyone! See you tomorrow!
