Day 4344: Countries

Yesterday, when I was feeling bad about my country, it comforted me to think about all the other countries that exist in the world.

After the results of our latest election, I know some people who are considering moving away from my country to other countries. For now, I have no plans to leave my country. For one thing, I want to keep facilitating therapy groups in the USA.

In a Coping and Healing group this week, I said that each person is like a separate country with our own traditions, history, and language, and that it takes work for us to understand and communicate with each other. I saw the other “countries” in the group nod their heads in agreement.

I’m looking forward to visiting another country next year with some dear friends from film school.

What countries do you see in my blog post for today?

Here’s what I find when I search for “countries” on YouTube.

Thank to all who are reading this countries post, including YOU!

Day 4343: Anniversary

Today is November 22, the 61st anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination and of my first heart surgery to get a cardiac pacemaker, which has kept me alive for many anniversaries. It’s also the twelfth anniversary of me blogging about this anniversary here.

Last night, I asked this question about anniversaries:

On the day before today’s anniversary (i.e., yesterday), I was able to return to songwriting for the first time since the November election. I wrote new lyrics for my song “There’s No One I Like Better Than My Cat.”

Start Your Own Country Day sounds good to me on this particular anniversary.

For some reason, this “Wicked” performance shows up when I search for “anniversary” on YouTube:

I’m looking forward to seeing the movie version of Wicked, opening today on this anniversary.

Thanks to all who helped me create this anniversary post, including YOU!
