Day 4542: Throw the guilt away

Do you ever notice how people who commit nefarious deeds never seem to feel guilt while the rest of us need to throw the guilt away over and over again?

That’s why I started writing lyrics to a song called “Throw the Guilt Away” months ago, which I shared yesterday.

.

I’m going to throw the guilt away about not completing that song as I share some people’s responses to it on Twitter (and I’m going to throw the guilt away about being on a platform owned by the nefarious Mr. Musk).

.

Yesterday, I threw the guilt away as I took up some valuable time of the fabulous singer-songwriter Rose White, who gave me invaluable tips about navigating the music business.

Here is a YouTube video of the amazingly wonderful Rose:

.

After talking to Rose, I threw the guilt away as I threw away my faithful iPhone 8 and replaced it with the iPhone 16. Everything is working okay on the new phone except the app that monitors my cardiac pacemaker and the app for Twitter.

I’m going to throw the guilt away for not mentioning the pacemaker monitoring app on Twitter as I share some responses to that post.

I’m going to throw the guilt away as I share the rest of my images for today without explanation.

On Writers’ Rights Day, I am throwing the guilt away about considering myself a writer!

Thanks to Rose White, my friends on Twitter, and all who are here for this throw-the-guilt-away post, including YOU!

Day 4537: Decisions, decisions

I know I’ve written before about how I can struggle with decisions, decisions. When there are too many options, I can worry about not having the information I need to make the “right” choice.

When I’ve spoken to people in therapy about their worries about making decisions, decisions, I’ve pointed out that our all-or-nothing thinking brains tend to think in extreme terms of wrong or right, upping the stakes on decisions, decisions we need to make. Also, we forget that if we make a decision, decisions we regret, we can also make further decisions, decisions in the future to help the situation.

Right now, I’m considering a decision, decision to get a new phone. Many people have suggested that my decision, decision to hold on to my iPhone 8 for years, years might not have been the best decision, decision (although I had a fun conversation recently with an IT specialist about how he has done the same with his iPhone 8).

Why is getting a new phone such a scary, scary decision, decision for me? Because I am happy with my current phone, even if it’s slow and limited in its capabilities. The familiar, familiar often feels safer than the unknown phone.

Do you see decisions, decisions in my images for today?

.

So I finally made the decision, decision to go with the music distribution platform LANDR after previously making the wrong decision about how to distribute my original songs. Here’s the protest song that will be appearing soon on Spotify and elsewhere!

.

I wonder if I’ve the right decisions, decisions about that recording? Oh well, time will tell.

Thanks to all who have made the decision, decision to read this blog post until the end, including YOU!
