Do you see balance in my images for today?
On balance, I think it’s good to balance Mother’s Day with a day acknowledging those who struggle with infertility.
Last night, at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Trevor Noah showed a balance of humor with important truths.
Feel free to balance this post with your comments, below.
I maintain my balance in this world by focusing on gratitude, so thanks to all who visit this blog, including YOU.
It doesn’t make sense that so many people are
It doesn’t make sense that bad things happen to good people.
It doesn’t make sense that there are such extreme economic inequalities.
It doesn’t make sense that people’s rewards on this earth do not match the value of what they contribute to others.
It doesn’t make sense that people focus on short-term gain, ignoring long-term consequences and realities.
It doesn’t make sense that we are trashing our own home — the Earth.
It doesn’t make sense that we don’t join together to solve problems.
It doesn’t make sense that people are so hungry for power and then misuse it when they get it.
It doesn’t make sense that people act like they’re going to live forever.
It doesn’t make sense that people who have so little sense do so much of the talking.
It doesn’t make sense that we change the clocks twice a year.
It doesn’t make sense that, as of this writing, nobody has commented on this photo from yesterday’s blog post:
Does it make sense that all this was inspired by one daily bitch?
It does make sense that Michael is making hot, buttery mashed potatoes tonight.
Do my other images today make sense?
It doesn’t make sense to me that so many people voted for Donald Trump.
Here’s “It Makes No Sense!” by Trevor Noah …
… and “Life Doesn’t Make Sense!” by Pete Holmes:
It doesn’t make sense that I’m just now finding out about the amazing Regina Carter.
What doesn’t make sense to you?
It doesn’t make sense to end any blog post without expressing gratitude for all who helped me create it, including YOU!
In the online groups I have been facilitating this week, I’ve been inviting people to share their worst fears and also what has been helping them deal with these.
My worst fear is that I won’t leave enough room for people to have all their feelings and what helps is my asking questions like that one.
Do you see any worst fears AND do you see anything that helps in my images from yesterday?
This interview with Dr. Fauci by Trevor Noah included worst fears and was also very helpful.
Please express worst fears AND what is helping you, in a comment below.
What helps me, every day, is finding and expressing gratitude wherever I am, so thanks to all (including YOU).
We’ve been dealing with a few bombs here on the east coast of the USA, including
While many people around us had to suffer through flooding, power outages, and loss of heat, we somehow avoided those bombs. Or, to quote another weapon-oriented phrase used by my bf (Boy Friend, Best Friend, Bomb deFuser) Michael: “We dodged a bullet, baby.”
Want to see some photos from yesterday and guess which one was not taken by me? Bombs away!
Here’s what happens when you search YouTube for “Trevor Noah bomb”:
Boom!
Gratitude incoming for all those who helped me write this post and — of course! — to you, no matter what bombs you’re dealing with today.
