Yesterday, on National Peculiar People Day, this peculiar person attended a protest of peculiar and dangerous actions committed by the peculiar people running my peculiar nation.
Is it peculiar to include one of my favorites tunes here?
.
Do you see anything peculiar in my images for today?
.
On International Thank-You Day, many thanks to all who are here for my peculiar posts, including YOU!!
When I went to visit the wonderful family of my recently deceased, beloved cousin Marilyn yesterday, we practiced our faith by reciting the mourner’s Kaddish. We also honored her memory by sharing stories about her kindness, generosity, love of life, and commitment to her faith, family, and friends.
I had faith that two of my dear friends would do well with scheduled surgeries this week, and they did.
I have enough faith in the power of peaceful protest to show up for this event in Boston today:

Do you see faith in my other images for today?

Thanks to all I have faith in, including YOU!
I am sending healing energy out into the world today, hoping that reaches a beloved friend and everyone else who needs it.
Do you see healing energy in my images for today?
.
I wonder if my new release is sending out healing energy.

Thanks to all who deserve healing energy, including YOU!
When there is so much injustice all around us, it can be difficult to identify what is worth noting.
Today, this is definitely worth noting.
.
When I look at the New York Times headlines today, that worth-noting disaster is second to another one:

What is worth noting in my other images for today?
.
It’s worth noting that when I use my work ethic to search YouTube for “worth noting,” I get nothing but this song “Worth Nothing.”
.
It’s worth noting that you can leave a comment, below.
Thanks to all who are worth noting, including YOU.
When I look at the news, I see injustice everywhere.
Injustice is also at the center of Griffin Dunne’s autobiography, which I’m currently reading.
.
In 1982, Griffin Dunne’s 22-year-old sister, Dominique Dunne, was killed by her abusive ex-boyfriend and the injustice of the justice system was appalling — her killer was released after serving less than three years in jail.
Overwhelming levels of injustice make me feel helpless; I assume I’m not alone in that.
Do you see any injustice in my other images for today?
.
On I’m Not Going to Take it Any More Day, I’m hoping that enough of us will interpret “it” to mean injustice.
Here’s what I find when I look for “injustice” on YouTube.

Thanks to all who help me deal with injustice, including YOU.
In yesterday’s blog post, I shared that I was giving up negative self talk for the month of January.
In yesterday’s Coping and Healing group, we talked about negative self talk. The group members wrote down familiar negative self talk and shared theirs with the rest of the group. Most of us tore up the paper with our negative self talk and threw the pieces away.
My negative self talk included:
You’re too selfish.
You don’t do enough.
You’re too old.
You make too many mistakes.
You’re stupid.
It felt good to share that negative self talk, rip the paper into tiny pieces and throw it all away.
Here and now, I am letting go of negative self talk about this AI-arranged version of my original song Everybody’s Somebody’s Asshole, which I just released.
I’m also letting go of negative self talk about today’s blog post, including the images I have to share.
.
What are your thoughts and feelings about negative self talk?
Thanks to all who help me let go of my negative self talk, including YOU!
While today’s title might mean giving up
it doesn’t!
It means giving up something (alcohol or otherwise) for Dry January.
Last night I asked a question about giving up on social media.
.
Because I’m giving up negative self talk, I was easily able to release an AI-arranged version of my song “Everybody’s Sokebody’s Asshole” yesterday.

If you can’t access the song today, don’t be giving up — it will be available elsewhere very soon.
Now it’s time for me to be giving up my other images for today.
.
While the Daily Bitch is giving up on work, I’m returning to the hospital today after a week’s vacation because I am never giving up on my patients.
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “giving up.”

Thanks to all who are not giving up on this blog, including YOU!
My good son Aaron told me yesterday that he is learning the language Toki Pona, which means “language of good.”
.
In Toki Pona, “pona” means good and I hope you see pona in my images for today.
.
Here’s a good video about the good language my good son is learning.
.
Thanks to all the good people who are here for this good blog post, including YOU!
I’m not psychic, but my prediction is that humans tend to make predictions, especially around the new year.
My prediction for 2026 is that Trump will say and do things that will cause more chaos and pain in this world. I would like to make the prediction that he will be stopped this year, but I feel less sure about that prediction.
You may have some predictions about the images I’m about to share.
My prediction is that I will not consume any alcohol but the Daily Bitch will.
My prediction is that the news will often worry me but that I will live my life anyway, including going back to work on Monday.
Another prediction is that my son Aaron will continue to share music I like, as he did last night.
Here’s what I find when I search for “predictions” on YouTube:
.
My prediction is that some of you will comment on this predictions post.
A safe prediction is that I will end these daily blog posts with thanks to YOU.
Yesterday, when the real me spent New Year’s Day with my real son in a real shopping mall, we saw this real sign:
.
This real salesperson at Laderach let the real you shine at work while predicting that flying cars would be real by the year 2040.
.
Now I’m going to let the rest of my real images shine:
Does the Daily Bitch encourage you to let the real you shine?
Here’s what shows up when I search for “let the real you shine” on YouTube:
In that real interview, Sam Acho talks about letting the real you shine at work (including all your real feelings).
Now, let the real you shine in the comments section, below.
Thanks to all who help the real me shine in these daily blog posts, including YOU!
