Day 4881: America

Posted on May 14, 2026 by Ann Koplow

The theme for today’s post is America.

I have lived in America all of my long life and I never thought Americans would tolerate such incompetence and corruption in their leaders.

I asked a question about America on social media last night.

.

I love the different ways that people responded to that question about America.

Do you see America in my other images for today?

.

Here’s what I find when I look for “America” on YouTube.

.

Thanks to all who help me live my life in America, including YOU.

Day 1489: When we wake up in the middle of the night

Posted on January 28, 2017 by Ann Koplow

When you wake up in the middle of the night, what do you do?

When I wake up in the middle of the night, I

think about the past,
worry about the future,
go to the bathroom,
try to get back to sleep,
listen to the sound of my new mechanical heart valve,
tell myself that I am safe enough in the moment,
answer outstanding comments on my blog,
compose a new blog post,
try to compose myself,
look at my latest photos:

remember things I forgot to do (like put a worry doll under my pillow),
listen to music,

and feel gratitude for all that I have, including my amazing readers!
