Yesterday in a therapy group, people felt comfortable and brave enough to talk about and show their feelings, including sadness, joy, anger, and fear.
Another group therapist recently told me that a member of his group said, “In group, joy is doubled and fear is halved.”
I have many good feelings about being a group therapist.
Are there any feelings in and about my other photos from yesterday?
Spotify tells me that I listened to “Hajanga” by Jacob Collier more than any other song in 2019. That’s because
- no matter what my feelings were in 2019, Hajanga always helped me feel better and
- I listened to it over and over again when I was driving to and from Westport, Massachusetts for the wake of my dear friend Tony.
Here‘s a live 2019 version of Jacob playing “Hajanga” at MIT:
Of course, I’m wondering about your feelings now.
As always, I’m feeling gratitude for all who help me create this daily blog, including YOU.
I like the looks of that ring set, Ann.
I like the looks of this comment, Mark.
I like the baseball photo, because it’s a sign of Spring, which is hopeful
I like that you see hope in that photo.
I’ve got some difficult feelings right now, but the advice “Don’t get your tinsel in a tangle” is helping me feel better.
You always help me feel better, Chris.
Awesome just saying
I have good feelings about what you say, Jo-Anne.
“Sing your pleasure, sing your pain, like you’ll never sing again.” Music for mindfulness. Thanks, Ann.
Thank you for your mindful comment, Kat.

More than 50 years ago, as part of the interviewing procedure for my social work training course, we applicants were placed in a group where the tutor stated “Today’s subject is feelings” and left the room.
I’m sure a lot of feelings came up in that room, Derrick.
You bet. And some years later I facilitated the experiential group.
Lovely rings, Ann. 🙂 I’m feeling happy for you.
Lovely people like you, Debra, feel happy for others. I’m feeling so happy to know you.
Great post
Thank you!
