This has been an interesting week here at The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally, with titles including Day 2569: I’m so done, Day 2570: Antisocial, and now Day 2571: Battles.
Is this blog turning into The Year(s) of Living Combatively?
I don’t think so, but I have noticed a lot of battles around me lately. Do you see evidence of that in these photos?






















I fell asleep on the couch last night and missed the anticipated battle between Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders at the latest debate of Democrat Presidential hopefuls.
Here‘s “Cabinet Battle #1” from Hamilton:
What are your thoughts and feelings about battles?
I need to battle traffic to get to work on time, so thanks to all who help me create this daily blog, including YOU.

Thank you Ann, have a nice day!!!
Thank you for another nice comment!!!
Michael walks in and finds the cats controlling the TV remote:
Come on, guys, not Animal Planet again!
We do battle over the remote, my friend.
It snowed about a foot here and so my husband and I spent about an hour this morning shovelling the sidewalks for the whole block and part of the next one. That was fun but also a battle. We don’t usually see much snow and so most of the other people in our neighbourhood don’t have shovels.
Your battles, not surprisingly, have to do with helping people. Thanks for being you, Maureen.
You’re right, Ann , traffic is a battle. They’re erecting more buildings and not enough roads to meet the capacity. I suppose , there’s nothing we can do
We can complain about it here as we continue to battle traffic!
Are you trying to train Harley to be a mouser?
It would be a battle to train Harley to be anything other than what he already is.
The battle of driving is something I don’t worry about anymore
I’m glad you don’t worry about that battle, my friend.
There’s a saying that in academia the fights are so big because the turf is so small. That used to make me laugh but then I started to think that there is no such thing as small territory in the pursuit of knowledge, and I’ll gladly defend that position.
Thanks for battling for the truth with humor, Chris.
I think I often feel overwhelmed, which can feel like being in a battle. That’s not a very good feeling! Your photos bring to mind many of the reasons I feel overwhelmed in the first place! 🙂
We’ll battle feeling overwhelmed together, Debra!
