Day 4308: Judgment

Posted on October 18, 2024 by Ann Koplow

Since this daily, long-running blog is titled “The Year(s) of Living Non-judgmentally,” I think it’s about time for a post about judgment.

As we get closer to the November election, I’m experiencing judgment about other people’s judgment. I’m trying not to judge myself as I struggle for compassion.

Do you see judgment in my other images for today?

In general, I try not to look for judgment, but I did look for “judgment” on YouTube.

In my judgment, that’s a great TED talk.

Thanks to all who are here for this judgment post, including YOU!

Day 3213: What would you expect?

Posted on October 18, 2021 by Ann Koplow

What would you expect from a blog post with this title?

What would you expect from a blog post written by somebody who often says, “It’s never what you expect”?

What would you expect me to eat on National Pasta Day (yesterday)?

What would you expect me to do if our cat Joan showed up unexpectedly without her cone (which she’s been wearing for weeks because of a persistent skin problem)?

I don’t know if this is what you would expect, but I watched her like a hawk for four hours yesterday to make sure she didn’t lick the infected area.

What would you expect Joan to do and feel when we put the cone back on her?

Joan seems to expect that the cone is going to come back on and doesn’t fight it at all. I didn’t expect Harley (who hisses and growls at Joan quite frequently) to get so close to her yesterday!

What would you expect from my other images for today?
