When times are dark, cold, and scary, having fun is even more important for our mental health.
That’s why I looked up these “having fun” quotes today.
.
I’m a big fun fan and I was definitely having fun when I recorded my “Technology” song yesterday:
.
I hope you’re having watching that and also looking at my other images for today. I’ll be having fun deciding how to arrange them.

My son — who (like the Daily Bitch) doesn’t seem to enjoy answering questions like “What do you like to do for fun?” — is flying into Boston this evening and I’m sure we’ll be having fun at dinner tonight.
Thanks to all who are here for this having fun post, including YOU!
I’ve been dependent on medical technology (including cardiac pacemakers and now an artificial heart valve) most of my life.
And if it weren’t for technology, I wouldn’t be able to connect with you through this blog, here and now.
At the same time, I experience myself and others feeling lost and frustrated about technology that we have no choice but to learn and use in order to survive in today’s world.
Yesterday, when I was getting an echocardiogram at the hospital, the sonographer and I spent most of the time complaining to each other about new computer technology we need to use to get our work done.
That inspired me to work on a song about technology, to the tune to Billy Joel’s “Honesty.”
In all honesty, changing technology sometimes gets in the way of me creating and sharing my songs, because I feel unsure about the best way to proceed. I need to learn to use technology to my advantage, and let go of my insecurities about my abilities to keep up with the latest and greatest technology (whatever the heck that is).
Do you see technology in my images for today?
.
Do you agree with me about technology?
Thanks to all who are here for this technology post, including YOU!
Let’s see if there’s a good definition of “good” on the internet.
Here’s a thought I’m having immediately about that “good” definition: what’s with the gender stereotypes in that definition (genius = male and women in the kitchen)? And what does “good school” usually mean to people? Could there be some unconscious bias and racism there?
It you think I’m trying to “cancel” the dictionary, the comments section below is a good place to express all your feelings.
Do you see good in my images for today?
There are a lot of good things on that list, but I’ve stopped eating popcorn because it’s not good for my teeth. And it’s good to remember that the negative tends to stick to us, so why not practice being like Teflon today?
Here’s “Only the Good Die Young” by Billy Joel, performed in my good old hometown.
It’s good to end these posts with gratitude, so thanks to all who help me blog every day, including YOU!
Yesterday, myself and several other selves discussed “Self Acceptance” in a therapy group.
All the selves in that group agreed that “Self Acceptance” is an important topic and something that people need to practice, practice, practice.
Here and now, I’m practicing self acceptance as I make decisions about what to pack for my trips to Iceland and Edinburgh. I will accept myself whether or not I bring along my ukulele and/or my laptop.
I am also practicing self acceptance about the other photos I took yesterday.
