As a group therapist, I’ve learned that a sense of purpose is essential for people’s mental health.
Yesterday, I saw my sense of purpose in an online word game.

Do you see a sense of purpose in my other images for today?

On World Healing Day, I’m glad to be writing about how having a sense of purpose is healing (even if it sounds exhausting).
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for a sense of purpose:

Thanks to all who help sustain my sense of purpose every day, including YOU!
it’s important to have a sense of purpose, and mine has changed over the years, as I think it often does. the important thing is to find it and believe in it
That makes sense, beth!
Having a safe walking trail helps the sense of purpose during that segment of the day for sure, Ann!
I appreciate your good sense, my friend!
I like having a sense of purpose every day, even if it’s something small. Like finding another puzzle piece, or playing Wordle, or listening to a podcast. Doing a little something around the house is in there too – today that is laundry – but I don’t let that take too much time away from the important stuff. Still, it counts.
Everything counts, Barbara.
Earlier today I had a meeting with my writing group. Someone said they felt that sometimes the feedback people give is only positive and doesn’t address the flaws. I said, and others agreed with me, that I try to provide honest feedback but at the same time I don’t want to discourage anyone. If someone cares enough to write something and is brave enough to share it with a group that’s great. They’ll likely have to deal with rejection but I feel a writers’ group should be supportive of each other.
I also brought up Wile E. Coyote who, now that I think about it, is really my hero. He never gives up.
Thanks for your support and good sense, my friend.
Your photos of the different cats (live, machine, and stone) makes me think of a Captcha puzzle, which could be very clever with “select each picture of a cat.”
Makes sense to me, Debbie!
