For July, I am giving myself the gift of quiet. Staying in a cabin with no cell phone reception and no wifi, I am taking time off from work and just resting. Part of that rest is closing ALL the open tabs on my cell phone (nearly 300).
I can only imagine how ~peaceful~ it will be to completely hush my phone!
Many of these links were saved for me to add to webpages or courses, so I will. But some are just random. As an eternal listmaker at heart, I have to put them somewhere. I may need them later on! So I am putting them here.
