Joan, our newish shelter cat, wants to know a lot, because she is a very curious kitty. She is not alone: I am very curious, too.
Yesterday, I posted this question on Twitter, claiming that Joan wants to know.
Joan wants to know why I chose to include her in that question. Good question, Joan! I know that if I do include Joan, I’m likely to love the responses even more.
Joan wants to know what you think about the images in today’s blog.
Joan wants to know if you are going to be celebrating National French Toast Day and/or Chanukah.
This is what I find when I search YouTube for “Joan wants to know.”
How many ways might you celebrate this precious day?
How many people would see a show with trained rescue cats and how many people will watch this video I took last night of the Amazing Acro-cats performing in the same theater where my son Aaron played John Wilkes Booth in a performance of Sondheim’s “Assassins”?
How many people were wearing masks in the audience? All of them.
How many comments will I get on this blog post?
How many times have I expressed gratitude for you in this blog? Thousands and thousands of times.
Meet all my son’s new teachers, at his high school, which is such a friggin’ labyrinth with so many stairs and confusing room numbers that I’ll probably wonder, “Where am I??” several times.
Ask directions, at my son’s school, from people who will help me get to all the right classrooms, on time.
Answer: I have no friggin’ idea. Wait! I have too many friggin’ ideas.
Question: What is your definition of doing group work, this morning?
Answer: It’s when I get to help make a room safe enough, so that people can talk about themselves in a way that helps themselves and the other people in the room.
Question: Why do you love doing group work so very, very much?
Answer: Because people are so friggin’ amazing.
Question: Why do the brains of people, who are so friggin’ amazing, generate harmful thoughts, sometimes?
Answer: I have no friggin’ idea.
Question: In reference to that last question, what joke occurred to you?
Answer: I used to think the brain was the most wonderful organ in my body. And then I thought, “Look what’s telling me that.” — Emo Philips
Question: What else do you want to tell people this morning?
Answer: Thank you so much — for reading, for thinking, for feeling, for all that you do.
