What I want is for the Democrats to win the USA Presidency, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.
What I want is for my creations — including this blog, my therapy groups, and my original songs — to help people feel better.
What I want is for my very unusual heart to sustain me long enough for me to get what I want.
Can you see what I want in my images for today?
.
What I want is to find a relevant video on YouTube.
.
What do you want?
What I want is to thank YOU for being here, now.
I don’t know about you, but emotions are running wild over here.
In therapy, we work on identifying, accepting, and expressing emotions without judgment. We also talk about how emotions are like the weather — that they come and go with different intensities.
On my door at the hospital where I work, I have an emotions chart that I drew in a group session many years ago.
.
I think the most important emotion on that chart is hope.
What other emotions are in my blog today?

I feel gratitude for all who are here for this emotions post, including YOU!
Yesterday was Celebration of the Senses Day, but why not celebrate the senses every day?
.
Here is “The Senses Song” from Animaniacs.

Thanks to all who help me with my daily celebration of the senses, including YOU
Whereas I felt bad about being weird when I was kid (due to my weird heart condition), these days I am proud of being wonderfully weird!
Do you see anything wonderfully weird in my images for today?
.
There are many wonderfully weird things out there and this is what I found on YouTube when I searched for “wonderfully weird”:

Thanks to all the wonderfully weird ones who make my life weirdly wonderful, including YOU!
Be kind to yourself, starting now.
There is no downside or disadvantage to being kind to yourself. And yet, people — including those who are kind to others — often have trouble being kind to themselves, especially during difficult times.
Today I’m going to be kind to myself and get a new laptop, which will have the storage I need to use Epic hospital software when I am kindly working from home.
Please be kind to yourself as you look at my other images for today.

In therapy, we often talk about accepting all the feelings, even the ones that make us uncomfortable.
In one of my original songs “Hidden Thoughts” — which I will be performing on May 26 and June 1 — I am going to express all the feelings, nonverbally.
I am feeling insecure about that, so I decided to consult my feelings chart at work for some preparation and inspiration.
Arrrrgh! That’s a feeling I can express non-verbally in that song and I’m feeling it, here and now, because my photos aren’t uploading again today.
Phew! That’s another feeling I can express non-verbally in my song and I’m feeling it, here and now, because I have a Plan B to upload my photos and publish my blog post (even though it will take more time and effort than Plan A).
Do you see all the feelings in my images for today?

Here‘s what I find when I search for “all the feelings” on YouTube.

I predict that TED talk will help me with all the feelings I’m going to have preparing for my concert. I also predict that I will recommend that TED talk to my patients, who have all the feelings.
What are all the feelings and thoughts about today’s post?
All the feelings I have include gratitude for YOU.
In June, I’ll be manifesting my dreams by singing and recording my original songs with people I love. I have a lot of work to do before I’ll be manifesting my dreams and it reduces my anxiety to be manifesting this wisdom: I have all the time that I need.
Now I’ll be manifesting my dreams of a hopefully helpful daily blog by sharing these images.

Thanks to all who help me in manifesting my dreams, including my dear friend Jeanette (whose birthday is today) and YOU!
After I asked a question about personal bests on Twitter last night, somebody wanted a definition of personal bests. I guess he wanted to do his personal best answering the question.
I don’t know if this blog post will be my personal best, but I enjoy witnessing and sharing personal bests.
Now I’m going to do my personal best to arrange today’s images in a coherent and helpful order.
.
Here’s what I find when I search for “personal bests” on YouTube.
.
I’m going to do my personal best to communicate to the producer of my June concert/album taping that I’d like results similar to that video.
Thanks to all who accomplish personal bests without even realizing it, including YOU!
Today, the Daily Bitch is proposing a solution to all of our problems.
.
Do you see more possible solutions to all of our problems in my other images for today?

When I search for “all of our problems” on YouTube, I find this …
… and this.

Thanks to all those who help me deal with all of our problems, including YOU.
