Day 4888: Habits

In 2013, I developed the habit of blogging daily. I think that’s a good habit.

I also have a habit of quickly introducing images, definitions, or quotes in these blog posts.

I guess I have a habit of thinking others might have more interesting things to say. Or maybe I’m lazy.

I’ve been trying to break my habits of eating when I’m stressed and people pleasing.

One habit I really resent having to give up is watching Stephen Colbert, who was cancelled for speaking truth to power.

I have a habit of sharing YouTube videos I like.

I have a habit of expressing gratitude, so thanks to everyone who’s here, including YOU!

Today, I have no apologies for

apologizing much less than I used to,
taking time off from my work as a therapist even though many people struggle with depression and anxiety during and after the holidays,
expressing my increasing distress about my clicking jaw and all the noises I hear in my head whenever I talk or sing,
playing poker last night with my husband and son, taking a very long time to understand the rules, and then winning,
feeling sad and happy that my son is returning to his math doctoral program in Halifax today,
striking up a conversation yesterday with a couple who were admiring the beautiful sunset, only to discover that one was a math post-doctoral candidate from Harvard who had left academia to start a business, and then inviting him and his wife back to our home so he could connect more with my son,
correcting my typo of “subset” in the bullet point above to “sunset,”
rearranging the order of this list,
my creative process, or
any of my images for today.
