Day 4168: Helping others

Last night, after a very full day at my 50th college reunion where I witnessed many people helping others, I asked a question about helping others on Twitter.

Here are some of the answers about helping others:

Do you see helping others in my other images for today?

I find that when I’m helping others, there’s a lot in it for me. I hope to be helping others tomorrow when I give my concert of original songs, with proceeds going to Samaritans of Boston and the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Here’s what I find when I search for “helping others” on YouTube:

Thanks to all who are helping others, including YOU!

Day 4138: Predictions

If I were to write a song about predictions, I predict that it might start out this way:

Predictions

are often fictions

That might make us feel more secure.

Tomorrow

Today will follow,

But other details remain unsure.

©️ Ann Koplow, 2024

My current predictions include:

  • I am going to give a show of my original songs on June 1.
  • There will be a dress rehearsal of that show on May 26.
  • The venue is small so I’m going to have to use a ticketing app.
  • I will learn what I have to learn to make this all happen.
  • Several people I adore will help me create this show and will also attend it.
  • I will donate proceeds from the concert and my album to two worthy causes: the suicide prevention organization Samaritans of Boston (where I volunteered before I changed careers in the 90’s) and the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI).
  • Some people will use bar codes and links (also included in today’s blog) to donate something to Samaritans and NAMI.
  • I will learn the medical record software Epic well enough to continue to provide individual therapy and group therapy to my patients,
  • My blog post today will include predictions, definitions, quotes, tarot cards, good food, cats, questions, answers, The Daily Bitch, today’s holidays, a YouTube video, and gratitude.
