Yesterday, on Twitter and Facebook, I got this out of my system:
Responses included
worrying,
anxiety,
guilt,
perfectionism,
panicking,
urgency,
uncertainty,
repression,
resentment,
too much busyness, and
my own prejudices.
Every day, I clear those from my system by blogging first thing in the morning.
Now I’m going to clear images from my iPhone system by sharing them with you.

It could drive me mad that I don’t agree with Spotify that “School Days” was my most played song of 2020, but I am not going to give Spotify the keys.
What are your ways to cope with people who drive you mad?
One of my ways to cope is to focus on gratitude, so thanks to all people and cats who helped me create today’s post, including YOU.
