Because I spend so much time thinking about mistakes, I greatly appreciated this sculpture about mistakes in the Rome airport.

When I was packing weeks ago for the trip to Italy, I worried about mistakes — taking too little or not enough. It was much easier packing to leave Italy yesterday, because the decisions had already been made, mistakes and all. And, as I learn over and over again, my mistakes are not fatal, even if I fear that they are.
On the plane ride home yesterday, the back portion of the cabin was practically empty and, make no mistake, I enjoyed the quiet and the roominess.

I speculated with the flight attendant, who lives in Venice (which I will unmistakably revisit soon), that the scarcity of passengers might be related to the awful mistakes the USA President has been making. She thought that assumption was a mistake, since all other flights from Italy to the USA have been packed this week.
When I got home yesterday (after a Lyft drive when the driver got blasted by a rude Boston driver when he made a minor mistake), we couldn’t find my cat Joan, and I soon feared that we had make a mistake at the doorway and let her run out. Even though that mistake seemed impossible (we always keep an eye out for her because we know she loves getting outside), that mistake seemed more likely as she kept not showing up to greet my return. Eventually, my husband Michael went outside, found her, and brought her back inside. That mistake continued to bother me until Michael soon spotted Joan outside AGAIN as I was regaling him with tales from Italy. We then discovered, down in the basement, that we hadn’t made a mistake at all.

It was a mistake to assume that Joan eventually wouldn’t figure out a way to gain access to one of her favorite places — the great outdoors. Because it would be a mistake to let Joan run free among all the coyotes here, we’ve blocked that escape route for now.
Do you see any mistakes in my other images for today?

I think it’s a mistake to celebrate Tell a Lie Day when the USA President and his minions tell so many lies, every day.
Here’s what I find when I look for mistakes on YouTube:

Thanks to all who are here for my daily mistakes, including YOU! 💕
