Day 3557: What day is it again?

Posted on September 27, 2022 by Ann Koplow

Today is

the second day of Rosh Hashanah,
National Forgiveness Day,
a day I’m providing individual and group therapy remotely,
another day I need to make phone calls about my long-delayed upstairs bathroom repair project,
a day when I should make some decisions about a river cruise in May 2023,
a day when I am going to try to revel in doing those things I can control instead of dreading making mistakes,
a day when I’m going to take the Warfarin dosage recommended by my care team as we try to get my INR levels back under control,
a day when I hope to read something from the stacks of books I’ve been accumulating,
a day when Joan the cat is going to want to go outside while Harley will not, and
Tuesday.

It’s also a day, again, when I share my latest images.

What day is it again? It’s another day when I love the Daily Bitch Calendar.

Today is also the day that I share with my friend Carol and with you “A Call from Long Island” from the album You Don’t Have to be Jewish.

What day is it again? It’s a day when I express gratitude to all the kind people in my life, including YOU.

Day 2464: What are the words that you live by?

Posted on September 30, 2019 by Ann Koplow

Yesterday, at a Boston performance of the wonderful musical Choir Boy, I saw this:

Audience members (including me) responded to that invitation to share the words that we live by, by posting sticky notes:

Can you spot the words I live by among all those words?

Do you see any words to live by in my other photos from yesterday?

What are the words that YOU live by?

Here is a Rosh Hashana song ….

… and here’s “Rockin’ Jerusalem” from Choir Boys.

Two of the words I live by, every day, are “Thank You,.” Thank you for helping me create two thousand and five hundred daily blog posts with (I hope) some words to live by.

Day 1372: Short and sweet, warm and sincere

Posted on October 3, 2016 by Ann Koplow

Today’s post title was inspired by a greeting card I saw, yesterday, during my first trip to a supermarket since my open heart surgery on September 21.

This warm blogger is sincere when she reassures her readers that yesterday’s trip to the supermarket was appropriately short and sweet. Also, I had two warm and sincere people accompanying me for support — my short friend Deb and my tall boyfriend Michael.

Today’s blog post needs to be short and sweet, my warm and sincere readers, because my sincerely awesome friend Carol will soon be taking me to a warm Warfarin/Coumadin clinic, as I sweetly work my way toward the right dosage of that medication while also eating the sweet, sour, and warm food I sincerely prefer.

Do any of my other photos from yesterday seem short, sweet, warm, and/or sincere?
