Day 4410: Keep Going

Posted on January 28, 2025 by Ann Koplow

No matter what is going on in the world, we have to keep going.

Yesterday, somebody in my Coping and Healing group brought in stress balls for everybody, and I chose one that said Keep Going.

Let’s keep going through the rest of my images for today.

I hope the American Immigration Lawyers Association can keep going, as well as other valuable members on that list.

Here’s a “keep going” video on YouTube:

I love the synchronicity of that Keep Going video showing up on International Lego Day.

I hope you keep going to the comments section to express your thoughts and feelings about these post.

Thanks to all who help me keep going, including YOU!

Day 4396: The little moments

Posted on January 14, 2025 by Ann Koplow

As some health professionals want you to know, it’s the little moments that make life big.

As you look at my other images for today, do you agree with that philosophy about the little moments?

Considering the little moments we’ll be experiencing over the next four years, that advice from the Daily Bitch is tempting.

Here’s what I find when I search for “the little moments” on YouTube.

Thanks to all who share the little moments with me, including YOU.

Day 4361: The Little Moments

Posted on December 10, 2024 by Ann Koplow

Yesterday, at the hospital where I work in-person on Mondays, I saw this sign about the little moments.

I greatly appreciate that reminder to appreciate the little moments. As usual, I’ll share the little moments in my images for today.

I just spent little moments looking for the Jascha Heifetz performance that made Holly smile (see above) so we could all enjoy these moments together.

Thanks to all who help me appreciate the little moments, including YOU!

Day 4354: Self care

Posted on December 3, 2024 by Ann Koplow

During challenging times, self care is especially important.

On the door of my office at the hospital, I display this reminder about self care:

I wonder if anybody finds that helpful.

Do you see self care in my other images for today?

Here’s what I find when I search for self care on YouTube:

Thanks to all who help me practice self care, including YOU!

Day 4340: Balance

Posted on November 19, 2024 by Ann Koplow

After the unbalanced election results in the USA, many of us are trying to regain our balance.

Personally, I’m trying to balance self care with caring for others, connections to the world with internal calm, not giving a f*ck with staying committed, acceptance with resistance, and hope with realism.

Yesterday, at work, I saw this sign about balance.

Do you see balance in my other images for today?

On Have a Bad Day Day, I’m going to try to balance having a bad day with having a good day.

My song I Don’t Wanna Be Late (Don’t Wanna Be Early Either) is, on balance, about trying to find balance.

Thanks to all who help me find balance in this unbalanced world, including YOU!

Day 4333: Where to go next

Posted on November 12, 2024 by Ann Koplow

Many people I know are considering where to go next after last week’s elections in the USA.

Should we go to a different place, externally and/or internally? Should we stay or should we go?

Where to go next? Should we go to different social media sites and/or even different countries?

Where to go next? Should we go to acceptance and/or activism? Isolation and/or engagement? Our happy place and/or our complicated place? Blue skies or gray skies? Bluesky or Twitter/X? Inner peace and/or inner conflict?

Where to go next, here and now, are my images for today.

Where to go next, for me, includes the funeral service for a long time group member and then an online Coping and Healing group.

Thanks to all who help me figure out where to go next, including YOU.

Day 4312: October Surprise

Posted on October 22, 2024 by Ann Koplow

Are you ready for an October Surprise of a blog post?

People seemed surprised that our New England weather is so warm near the end of October, although that doesn’t really surprise me. The weather may not be the kind of October surprise that influences the election, but it seems like nothing can influence the election at this point, which does surprise me.

Surprise! It’s time for my October surprise images.
