Yesterday, when I was doing my special job at a special hospital with special people, I saw this:
.
Lately, I’ve been feeling special because my special music has been getting more recognition. For example, I’ll be singing my special protest song in October at the special protest song teach-out Which Side?
.
Here is a special photo from a recent Boston Globe article about Which Side?
Do you recognize the special person on the right?
Yesterday, I felt special because somebody special in my special in-person Coping and Healing group shared that my song “I Left the House Before I Felt Ready” had made them cry.
.
I did a special a Capella performance of it in group and it had the same effect.
I guess that song must be special because the special Eric Alper chose that one to share in his special playlist of the best Indie music. Here is our special communication about that.

It’s nice to feel special, but also scary! Here are my other special images for today.

Isn’t the Daily Bitch special?
Thanks to all the special people who are here for this special post, including YOU!
Special? What about that one-legged woman on the ferry dock?
Also, I asked my friends on Facebook (it was late, I have since apologized for basically begging for compliments) and got these answers:
A fan: “Oh my friend! The list is long…Your kindness,intelligence,your WRITING! Your courage,humor.”
A friend: “You are gifted, smart and warm, in a particular combination that can only be you! Otherwise, we are all ever so special in so many ways, keeping in mind that special may be used as a disability label. In my own specialness as disability, I am left-handed and had to wear orthopedic shoes as a child.”
PLUS: When in Switzerland, do you plan to visit the St. Bernard Pass? I ask because I read a feature on it somewhere recently. You get to schedule hikes with actual St. Bernards!
Back to Special: I cram too much stuff into Comments.
Love the feedback and you’ll find out about my Switzerland trip soon enough!
Actually, my favorite answer to how am I special was from one of my dearest friends who replied, very succinctly, “You are not an asshole.”
Even though everybody’s somebody’s asshole (according to my song)? That is a great compliment, Barbara!
You are so creative — and so special. I love your mind!
I love your mind too, Claudia!
I love that you not only are special and capture a lot of special moments but that you also have a talent for making others feel special too.
Takes one to know one, Chris!
lovely to feel special isn’t it! Your song made me smile!
That makes me smile, Carol Anne!
