Day 4459: A word

I’ve heard people ask “can I have a word?” when they want to communicate something.

.

Actually, I don’t want to have a polite, brief, or private word about what’s going on in my country and in the world right now, because it’s too serious to be confidential.

Yesterday, I asked people to come up with a word to describe the current USA Congress.

.

There were many other words, believe me.

I also asked people to share a word for how they were feeling.

.

Is there a word to describe my other images for today?

.

In the above list, I’m particularly noticing these words: forgive, Mom, Dad, recycling, Goddess, awkward, moments, sacrifice, appreciation, and social work.

Here’s what I find when I search for “a word” on YouTube:

Consider leaving a word in the comments section, below.

Here’s a word to express my gratitude to YOU.

Day 4458: What’s the right thing to do?

While people in power are doing wrong by so many others (and apparently getting away with it), what’s the right thing to do?

Protest? Boycott? Leave the USA? Stay and fight?

Hide from the news? Keep track of the news? Be hyper vigilant? Distract oneself with work and play?

Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die? Seriously defend the rights of ourselves and future generations?

Be optimistic and hopeful? Pessimistically prepare for the worst?

Stay in the moment? Learn from the past? Focus on the future?

Follow one’s feelings? Try to be logical? Avoid despair? Smile though your heart is breaking?

Focus on self care? Take care of everybody else?

What’s the right thing to do? As always, I’m curious about what others think.

.

The right thing for me to do right now is to share the rest of my images for today and get ready for a stormy commute and walk to the hospital where I work in-person on Mondays.

.

On Act Happy Day, I wonder if the right thing to do is to act happy even though these are not happy times.

Here’s what I find when I search for “what’s the right thing to do?” on YouTube.

What’s the right thing to do? Leave a comment? Contemplate this topic further?

For me, the right thing to do is to express my gratitude, right here, right now, to YOU.

Day 4094: How to make life more enjoyable

Today’s Daily Bitch calendar has an idea about how to make life more enjoyable.

.

Personally, I make life more enjoyable by (1) doing more enjoyable things and (2) spending more time with enjoyable creatures, which I hope is reflected in these images:

According to Dr. Dale Anderson (and others), acting happy can make life more enjoyable.

Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “how to make life more enjoyable.”

.

Thanks to all who make my life more enjoyable, including YOU!
