After having a good day yesterday, I asked a question about a good day on social media.
.
Reading those answers already makes this a good day, as I prepare for a flight to Charleston, South Carolina, where I’ve had good days before (here and here).
Do you see a good day in my other images for today?
.
No matter what is on the list of Holidays and Observances and even though I’m way past middle age, I plan to have a good day.
This will be a good day despite my being triggered by air travel, as you can hear in this song.
.
And it’s a good day even though that YouTube site has only one follower, and it’s me!
Thanks to all those who help me have a good day, including YOU.
In yesterday’s blog post, I referenced an article on a study about the variety of cats’ facial expressions.
I am very aware of facial expressions, even those on a pumpkin.
.
I particularly notice facial expressions that show some level of distress or anger. Thinking about facial expressions yesterday, I started writing two new songs, including “Other People’s Anger.”
Because my mind speeds from one thought to the next, from problems to more problems to possible solutions, from memories of the past to projections into the future, it helps me to slow down.
When I slow down, I can let go of that panicky feeling that I have to act RIGHT NOW to head off negative consequences.
With my extremely rare heart condition (which makes my heart slow down to dangerous levels if I don’t have an implanted cardiac device), I have to slow down on hills and stairs, and I don’t like that. Also, it’s difficult for me to slow down because I’ve always believed I have limited time on this earth. Indeed, earlier this week I started writing a song called “Assuming I’m Going to Die Soon” (which might slow down the sales of my album).
Assuming I’m going to die soon Makes me want to finish this tune. It makes me want to do everything I ever wanted to do, And not waste time Because it’s a crime If you die leaving things That you still want to do.
I need to slow down and think about more lyrics for that song.
Because the overload of pictures and words on my phone caused a slow down and a stop of my photos loading for yesterday’s blog post, I have twice as many images to share with you today, so I hope you can slow down and enjoy them.
Please forgive me, my loving readers, for starting this post with this image:
I love blogging every day, so I forgive WordPress or my computer or my phone or technology in general for making it SO difficult, just now, to upload that ONE photo out of all my new pictures.
Forgiving is lovely. I recommend it.
Let me know if you love and/or forgive any of my other photos from yesterday.
I love people who vote. I’m not sure I forgive people who don’t vote, but I’m working on it.
Here‘s what comes up on YouTube when I search for “people who love are forgiving.”
I look forward to your loving, forgiving comments.
I love ending posts with thanks to all who help me create them and — of course! — to YOU.
