I am not having a nice time this morning because I have been scammed and was in a loop with my bank for over an hour.
However, I did manage to send my friend Jeanette — with whom I’ll be having a nice time in Spain very soon — a gift card for her birthday.
However, creating my blog post is always a nice time. Can you see a nice time in my images for today?
.
I hope the customer service rep from my bank has a nice time listening to this song.

Thanks to all who help me have a nice time, including YOU!
It’s interesting how helpful these daily blog posts are for me (no matter how interesting they are for others).
It’s interesting that this blogging site thinks I’ve posted 666 days in a row …
… when it’s actually been 4,791 days in a row.
Yesterday, I went to see yet another interesting expert about the interesting clicking noises I hear in my head when I speak or sing. This doctor and his interested entourage put an interesting little microphone and camera though my nostril so they could observe what interesting things my upper palate did when I speak. When the doctor, who had an interesting way of dealing with patients, asked me to keep talking, I recited the words to my original song “Everybody’s Somebody’s Asshole.”
.
It’s interesting that — because of the inserted microphone — somebody else could hear the noises for the first time since they appeared 30 months ago (but who’s counting?).
It’s interesting how reassuring that was.
When the interesting doctor told me that my situation was atypical and unusual, I took a breath and said, “Since I’ve been born, I’ve been dealing with the rarest congenital heart condition and other atypical and unusual issues, and I’m kind of sick of being …”
“Interesting?” said the doctor.
It’s interesting that there continues to be no obvious way forward to treat these noises, but we’re going to try a Botox injection next month. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.
What’s interesting about my images for today?
.
I look forward to your interesting comments, below.
Thanks to all my interesting readers, including YOU!
Because I’m a psychotherapist, I bear witness to people’s memories. Because I specialize in group therapy, I witness people making new memories as they join in community with each other.
Because I’m a blogger, I share daily memories with you.
.
Here are some of the favorite memories I named above:

I am sending healing energy out into the world today, hoping that reaches a beloved friend and everyone else who needs it.
Do you see healing energy in my images for today?
.
I wonder if my new release is sending out healing energy.

Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “healing energy.”

Thanks to all who deserve healing energy, including YOU!
In yesterday’s blog post, I shared that I was giving up negative self talk for the month of January.
In yesterday’s Coping and Healing group, we talked about negative self talk. The group members wrote down familiar negative self talk and shared theirs with the rest of the group. Most of us tore up the paper with our negative self talk and threw the pieces away.
My negative self talk included:
You’re too selfish.
You don’t do enough.
You’re too old.
You make too many mistakes.
You’re stupid.
It felt good to share that negative self talk, rip the paper into tiny pieces and throw it all away.
Here and now, I am letting go of negative self talk about this AI-arranged version of my original song Everybody’s Somebody’s Asshole, which I just released.
I’m also letting go of negative self talk about today’s blog post, including the images I have to share.
.
What are your thoughts and feelings about negative self talk?
Thanks to all who help me let go of my negative self talk, including YOU!
While today’s title might mean giving up
it doesn’t!
It means giving up something (alcohol or otherwise) for Dry January.
Last night I asked a question about giving up on social media.
.
Because I’m giving up negative self talk, I was easily able to release an AI-arranged version of my song “Everybody’s Sokebody’s Asshole” yesterday.

If you can’t access the song today, don’t be giving up — it will be available elsewhere very soon.
Now it’s time for me to be giving up my other images for today.
.
While the Daily Bitch is giving up on work, I’m returning to the hospital today after a week’s vacation because I am never giving up on my patients.
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “giving up.”

Thanks to all who are not giving up on this blog, including YOU!
My good son Aaron told me yesterday that he is learning the language Toki Pona, which means “language of good.”
.
In Toki Pona, “pona” means good and I hope you see pona in my images for today.
.
Here’s a good video about the good language my good son is learning.

Thanks to all the good people who are here for this good blog post, including YOU!
What makes you feel old?
Yesterday, what made me feel old was running into a young ex-co-worker and musician who is in my karass.
Actually, that didn’t make me feel old. That made me feel wonderful. What made me feel old was that he talked to me about using artificial intelligence in producing music and then quickly sent me this version of one of my songs last night.
.
What also makes me feel old is how many assholes are in charge these days and how many good people are dying.
That’s why I asked this question on social media last night.
.
Do my other images make you feel old?
.
Here’s what I find when I search for “what makes you feel old?” on YouTube.

Thanks to all who make me feel better (no matter how old I feel), including YOU!
In order to prepare for my appearance on the fabulous podcast Therapist Uncensored, I am reading the book Secure Relating by the podcast hosts.
.
I am very secure recommending that book to everyone, including my patients.
Do you see secure relating in my other images for today?
.
.
Here’s what I find when I search for “secure relating” on YouTube.
.
When I appear on the podcast this Friday, I’m going to use secure relating to ask how the co-hosts used this version of my song “Everybody’s Somebody’s Asshole” for some of their in-person events.
.
I look forward to secure relating in the comments section, below.
Thanks to all who showed up for secure relating today, including YOU!
