Day 4025: Normalize

Posted on January 9, 2024 by Ann Koplow

Today’s Daily Bitch calendar encourages us to normalize …

.

… and Merriam-Webster defines “normalize” four ways.

.

Shall we normalize my other images for today?

.

Did those images normalize different feelings (or anything else)?

I also want to let people know that a plumber was able to normalize our water temperature and the heat throughout our home pretty easily. Phew!

Here’s what I find when I search for “normalize” on YouTube:

Thanks to everyone who helps me normalize every day, including YOU!

Day 3661: It’s not where you are, it’s who you’re with

Posted on January 9, 2023 by Ann Koplow

I like following up yesterday’s post — titled “Where and When” — with this phrase I’ve heard many times from my husband Michael: “It’s not where you are, it’s who you’re with. “

No matter where I am, I’m so grateful to be with:

Michael,
my son Aaron,
my late parents, through my memories,
my ex-husband Leon and his family,
my wonderfully supportive friends,
my helpful co-workers,
my inspiring patients,
my doctors and my dentist (who reads this blog every day),
my therapist,
my followers on WordPress and Twitter (including YOU!),
cats, and
all those who appear in today’s images.

That’s my ex-husband, Leon, whose birthday is this Wednesday. I was also at Sichuan Gourmet with camera-shy Michael and Aaron.

It’s not where you are, it’s who you’re with, and I’m glad to be anywhere with the Daily Bitch.

This is the first thing that comes up on YouTube when I search for “it’s not where you are, it’s who you’re with.”

Thanks to all who are with me, here and now, including YOU!
