Day 4608: Lessons learned

As I am trying to prepare for my album release next week, I am learning new lessons and reviewing lessons I’ve already learned. These including trusting my creative instincts even as I am tackling new technology.

For example, the last two days I’ve been trying to create a Canvas for Spotify — an 8-second visual loop that will play for a song that increases viewership. I’ve learned that if I investigate something new on my own before consulting with ChatGPT, it works out better.

Do you see lessons learned in my images for today?

.

Here’s what I find when I search for “lessons learned” on YouTube.

Thanks to all who are here for this lessons learned post, including YOU!

Day 2899: Insignificant

Is it insignificant that I did NOT call the Internal Revenue System yesterday about my significantly late tax refund, despite resolving to do so in my morning blog post?

Did I not call because I dislike how insignificant I feel whenever I deal with a huge bureaucracy? Or was it because the work I needed to do yesterday (remote psychotherapy and responding to crisis calls) made my contacting the IRS insignificant in comparison? Or did I have significant fear about what I might find out — that because my identity was stolen my tax refund was stolen too?

Sometimes, my confusion about the motives for my behavior is not insignificant.

Is the actual inspiration for today’s title insignificant?

.

The Daily Bitch is never insignificant to me. Are today’s other images insignificant?

.

.

I’ve done significant work to try to get to the point described in that last quote. Nevertheless, my mood shifted yesterday based on the insignificant actions of somebody else. Significantly, I communicated with that person and my mood shifted again. I believe that is not insignificant, although I clearly have more significant work to do.

Here is “Insignificant” by Spencer Elliott.

I hope you know your reactions to my posts are never insignificant to me.

My expressions of thanks here are insignificant in comparison with the gratitude I feel for all who help me blog every day, including YOU!
