Day 4649: Getting Out

Posted on September 24, 2025 by Ann Koplow

Yesterday, people in my therapy group talked about getting out of toxic relationships and about fears that stop them from getting out of the house.

Years ago, I made this button for one of my patients who was having trouble getting out of situations she didn’t want to be in.

Many people have been considering getting out of my country since our last Presidential election.

Getting out for a walk each day helps me keep going. Soon, the great egrets I love will be getting out of the marshes and flying south. J

oan, our cat, who will not be getting out of her annual vet visit today, loves getting out of the house on her harness.

There’s no getting out of my sharing my other images now.

Here’s my song about getting out of the house.

Here is Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue from last night after getting out of his temporary suspension.

There’s no getting out of my gratitude for wonderful people like you!

Day 4644: Respect

Posted on September 19, 2025 by Ann Koplow

I respect Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, and all those who challenge the current U.S administration.

I respect people who answer questions.

I respect my friends on Twitter, including those X’s algorithm keeps flagging as “probable spam.”

Every day, I capture images of those I respect.

On Constitution Day and every other day, I respect everyone who stands up to defend the constitution.

I respect this.

I have so much gratitude for those I respect, including YOU!

Day 4329: What I’m watching

Posted on November 8, 2024 by Ann Koplow

What I’m watching these days are the faces of those I love and respect as we adapt to the results of the USA election. What I’m NOT watching is the news.

Can you see what else I’m watching in my images for today?

It’s not my job to help morons navigate through life but it is my job to help thoughtful, self-aware, and struggling people navigate through life.

Speaking of thoughtful, self-aware, and struggling people, what I’m watching includes late night talk hosts, including Jimmy Kimmel.

What are you watching?

Thanks to all who are watching this blog, including YOU.

Day 2708: Life Choices

Posted on May 31, 2020 by Ann Koplow

Every day, we make life choices which affect outcomes in ways we might not expect. Some of us are privileged enough to have more choices than others.

Today, I’m making the choice to share all these moments of my life from yesterday:

I like life choices that Jimmy Kimmel made on his show on Friday night.

My life choices always include gratitude, so thanks to all who visited this blog, here and now.

Day 2687: Happy Mother’s Day!

Posted on May 10, 2020 by Ann Koplow

Yesterday, the day before Mother’s Day, I was happy to look at all the posts on our cat Oscar’s Facebook page, including this one from four years ago:

Here’s another post from Oscar’s Facebook page that I’m especially happy to share on Mother’s Day:

This mother of Aaron will be happy to share more posts from Oscar’s Facebook page (which has the title “Oscarthenonjudgmentalcat”) over the coming days.

In the meantime, let’s celebrate Mother’s Day on this Polar Vortex weekend with these photos taken yesterday by a mother:

You may call me nuts, but it’s made me very unhappy to witness many wonderful mothers shamed (by others and themselves) for being “fat” or “old.” Therefore, I posted this selfie yesterday on my Facebook page yesterday with the caption “Does this mask make me look fat?”

And I posted this one with the caption “Does this mask make me look old?”

That seemed to make some mothers and others happy.

This recent Jimmy Kimmel segment with texts from celebrities’ mothers made this blogging mother happily laugh out loud:

Jimmy Kimmel says at the end of that edition of Mom Texts, “Happy worst Mother’s Day ever.” Do you agree? If you give this mother the gift of a comment below, it will make me happy.

Thanks to all the mothers and others who help me happily create this blog, every day!

Day 2065: Unspeakable

Posted on August 27, 2018 by Ann Koplow

For the first time in my life, I have laryngitis, which means most things are unspeakable for me right now.

After reading the news today, I can’t speak about some unspeakable stories. However, I can write my thoughts and feelings here.

It’s unspeakable to me how many mass shootings there are in the USA. When my son got into the University of Edinburgh and a few USA colleges in 2016, I spoke to him about my preference of where he might go to school. I spoke of my belief that he would be safer outside of the USA because of all the unspeakable school shootings and the unspeakble access to guns here.

It’s also unspeakable to me how a person in power can speak unspeakably unkindly about other people, even war heroes.

Even though my thoughts and feelings are unspeakable right now, I can still share photos from my first day back in the USA.
