Because I’m a psychotherapist, I often deal with people’s strong emotions.
Yesterday, I had many strong emotions, including a good cry when I watched West Side Story.
I have no shame about strong emotions, including sadness, fear, anger, and joy. I accept my strong emotions and allow them to flow through me, leaving room for other reactions.

I’ve always had strong emotions about cats, who have supported me emotionally since I was 10 years old. For me, it’s West Side Story, The Deer Hunter, Sophie’s Choice, To Kill a Mockingbird, Schindler’s List, and so many others.I had strong emotions about Angry Staffer answering my question on Twitter last night.“Maybe calm down” can be a valid response to strong emotions. I have strong emotions about several of today’s observances.

My singing teacher, who plans to be there at showtime today, thinks that once I get good recordings of my material out there, I’ll go viral, but time will tell.
For now, I’m just glad that it’s showtime!
It’s time for me to show the images I captured yesterday.

The Daily Bitch is reminding me that I forgot to eat anything when it was showtime for me at the Lilypad two months ago, so I’ll be sure to Eat Outside before my show today.

Have you ever heard the word “adiaphorous” before? I hadn’t, until I got this in an email yesterday:
.
I’m going to try to remember and use the word “adiaphorous” because the human mind naturally thinks of things as being either harmful or beneficial, and focusing on the adiaphorous might be a way to live non-judgmentally.
If I can’t remember to use the word “adiaphorous,” that’s adiaphorous.
Do you see anything that’s adiaphorous in my images for today?
