Day 3336: The best thing

The best thing I can report this morning is that I did my presentation about group therapy yesterday and, despite my fears, it went very well.

The best thing for me would be to have faith in my ability to give good presentations about groups, but somehow I always find a way to worry about them. Maybe that’s because communicating effectively about something I love is important to me. And the possibility of failure is scary.

The best thing would be for me to know that I don’t have to be the best thing to be valuable. I hope that other people realize that too, including Mikaela Shiffrin.

What’s the best thing in my blog post today?

The best thing is that I can celebrate what’s unique about me on National Battery Day — I’ve been kept alive by batteries in cardiac pacemakers for almost 60 years!

Joan is the best thing for all of us, no matter what she does or doesn’t do.

Here’s a Stephen Sondheim song that’s been running through my head the last few days — “The Best Thing That Ever Has Happened to Me.”

The best thing would be to see your comment about this post!

The best thing to end this blog post with is my gratitude for YOU.

  1. The best thing for me reading your blog today is discovering that you are happy with the way your presentation went. I am delighted.

    Also, today I feel grateful that batteries were invented before you were born.

    That video of Joan made me laugh out loud.

  2. Glad your presentation went well. Told you so!

    How do you manage to keep from tripping over all those cat toys?

  4. The best thing for me was that beautiful meme that said, “Kindness changes everything.” I love ❤️ that! I’m glad your group presentation went well. Have a Fabulous Friday! 👍🏽🥰

  5. The best thing is, as you said, you don’t have to be the best to be valued.
    That and the cats were the best thing about your post today. 😻

  6. always remember you are enough. exactly as you are. the best thing in these pics is the one with the cats and their collection of shoes and socks.

  7. Joan chasing her toy down the stairs is the best thing for everyone.

  8. Oh, Ann, presentations for all of us are like getting a new battery in the right way. You’re practically certain the positive side is pointed the right way because you’ve checked the chart and gone over it in your head 100 times before you close, but you still that negative end nags you until you flip the switch and power up.

    I’m glad your presentation went well, Ann. I agree with your post, ” Kindness makes you beautiful”.

  10. I’m so glad your presentation was a success, Ann. I agree with you that the best thing, and I say this to myself, as well, would be to expect things to go well in the first place. I would love that to be true of me!
