Yesterday, in a therapy group where I tried to make room for the positive AND the negative, somebody said
I believe there is more good than bad in the world.
Considering all this person has gone through, I was reminded of Anne Frank‘s famous quote:
I keep my ideals, because in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.
Is there more good than bad in my photos from yesterday?
I know today is going to be more good than bad because I’m doing another therapy group and also seeing the very good guitarist Pat Metheny in concert. Here‘s Pat playing a good tune:
Finally, as I express my thanks to all the good people who helped me create this post and all the good people who are reading it, here are two more photos with more good than bad:
you rock too Ann <3
It takes one rockin’ person to know another one, Lisa. <3
Thank you dear Ann. My day is already more good than bad, thanks to your well-chosen photos. Lion kitty rocks, too! 🦁😊
This comment is SO good, Elouise.
I watched some of the President’s last news conference but it made me sad so I stopped watching. I wish I could adopt Cash the kitty. Feeling sad again. But yes I believe there is more good than bad in the world.
I’m sad that you’re sad and I think you are very good.
Hope you enjoy the concert thoroughly!
The concert was cancelled but I thoroughly enjoyed your comment, Maureen!
Before I had my hip replacement the consultant said they didn’t like to operate until there were more bad days than good ones. I wasn’t aware of any good ones. He was easily convinced. That was good.
You’re good, Derrick.
Hamlet said, “there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so”. Strictly speaking it was Shakespeare who said that, but he had the famously indecisive Hamlet say it. There’s a valuable lesson there: so much of our happiness depends not on what happens to us but how we think about it.
I think your comments make me happy, Chris.
Of all your photos this blog, I liked 1) Keep Calm and Carry On, 2) the manicured kitty, and 3) the coloring books. We all need to be reminded about #1, especially with tomorrow looming, #2 reminds me of an angora cat I had who got overheated in the northeast summers, so I’d get him a lion cut like that. He loved it! And #3 reminds me how much I’m enjoying coloring 🎨 too with the Recolor App and my Apple Pencil! 🍎✏️
I like every word in this very good comment, Sunny. And remember, keep calm and carry on.
The weird thing is, all these photos look brand new to me even though I was clearly here this morning. Or maybe not so clearly. This blog looks so different with a bigger screen! Sorry that your concert was cancelled, Ann.
It’s still more good than bad, Maureen. Thanks for coming back!
That grey cat is not one for just lion around!
Good one, Maureen!
Thanks for the good. I needed this.
We all need the good. Thanks for the good comment, Barb!
It is more good than bad that I FaceTime!

Not bad! Which means, very good!
