Day 4506: Very good signs

I’m always looking for very good signs. Here are some I saw yesterday.

.

It’s a very good sign that so many people are coming out for demonstrations in the USA. Also, it’s a very good sign that my music producer Riccardo is putting together good audio versions of my original songs, including the protest song “You Don’t Scare Me.”

.

It’s a very good sign that there are so many very good people in the world, including YOU!

Day 4494: Helpful phrases

I think we need helpful phrases to pep-talk ourselves through life, especially these days.

Yesterday morning, I used the helpful phrase “just do it” to overcome my resistance to recording my new protest song “You Don’t Scare Me.”

Come to think of it, “you don’t scare me” is a helpful phrase.

.

Do you see any helpful phrases in my images for today?

.

My late mother, whose birthday was April 22, had many helpful phrases including “Everything worth doing is worth doing well.”

Thanks to my mother, my friends on Twitter, people who protest the current USA administration, and everyone else who helped me create this helpful phrases post, including YOU!

Day 4479: World Health Day

Today is World Health Day.

.

As described by its Wikipedia page, World Health Day is observed by all member states of the World Health Organization.

Unfortunately, the USA’s unhealthy president withdrew us from that organization earlier this year.

.

If I were still in Italy, I could be observing World Health Day by doing healthy things like eating fresh, healthy food and immersing myself in beautiful sights and art. Instead, I’m returning to work on World Health Day to try to help vulnerable people in the USA maintain their mental and physical health.

According to economic predictors, World Health Day may be a very unhealthy day, financially, for the world.

Let’s try to stay as healthy as we can on World Health Day.

.

On World Health Day, I’ll be singing show tunes on my way to work.

Here’s what I find when I search for “world health day” on YouTube:

.

How are you going to spend World Health Day?

Thanks to all who improve my health every day, including YOU!

Day 4478: Signs of protest

As somebody who has wondered why there haven’t been more signs of protests against the toxic and corrupt USA government, I loved seeing so many signs of protest yesterday in Boston.

.

You might protest this awkward segue but my body has been showing signs of protest after all the rich food I’ve been eating in Italy and in Boston …

.

… so I’ll be changing my eating habits today.

I asked this question about signs of protest on social media last night.

.

I wonder if there will be signs of protest today.

.

Here’s what I find when I search for signs of protest on YouTube:

Thanks to all who are here for these signs of protest, including YOU!
