Because we human beings like to make meaning, we can link unrelated causes and effects.
I’ve heard many people express a belief that their feeling too good causes something bad to happen. Personally, I have a superstitious belief that if I put myself out there in a new and brave way, disaster will ensue.
For example, last year when I was on vacation in Georgia I dared to share one of my original songs with two strangers who reacted very positively. The next day, I was in the hospital with a mini-stroke. In my mind, those two events were somehow related.
Rationally, I know that’s ridiculous. But wait, there’s more! Lately I’ve been moving full steam ahead creating more music and trying to promote it. And if you read this daily blog, did you notice I landed in the Emergency Room this weekend with double vision that some people thought might be another mini-stroke?
Anyway, this inspired me to start another song.

That’s going to cause me to write more verses for that song, which I hope has a good effect.
Do you see cause and effect in my other images for today?

I can think of endless causes for the effect of an International Moment of Frustration Scream Day.
Here’s what I find when I search for “cause and effect” on YouTube.

I hope my expressing gratitude for you causes a good effect, here and now.
