Finding quiet can be challenging in these noisy, anxiety-provoking times.

The Daily Bitch has her own idea about finding quiet.

Here’s what I find for “finding quiet” on YouTube.

Thanks to all who are finding quiet as best they can, including you.

Day 2490: More self-care bingo

Posted on October 26, 2019 by Ann Koplow

Today is the wedding anniversary of my late, great parents, so I definitely need more self-care bingo.

Luckily, in a Coping and Healing group yesterday we added more squares to our self-care bingo cards.

My new squares are

created something new,
laughed with somebody,
expressed my feelings,
took a walk,
ate something delicious,
spent time with an animal,
danced,
listened to music I love,
improved the moment,
observed just noticed,
acknowledged progress,
looked at something beautiful,
gave somebody a hug,
accessed a good memory,
was playful,
returned an email,
made a helpful call,
set a limit,
smiled at a stranger, and
expressed gratitude.

Bingo!

Here’s #14 (accessed a good memory):

Adding more photos to today’s post qualifies as #1 (created something new). Are any of these photos examples of self-care bingo?

Part of my self care has been watching this video of the Washington Nationals (up 2-1 in the World Series) spreading “Baby Shark” fever.

Here’s #20 (expressed gratitude):
