I’ve entered scary places and I’ve survived, and that is true for everyone who is reading this now.
What gives me the courage to go into scary places? Knowing that I’m not alone, even when I feel like I’m alone.
Do you see any scary places in my images for today?
.
I can only imagine what I’ll find on YouTube when I search for “scary places.”
.
Thanks to all those who make scary places less scary, including YOU.
Because I always dread doing my taxes (and filling out forms in general), working on them yesterday went better than expected.
Maybe my experiences would be better than expected if I let go of expectations (but maybe that’s too much to expect).
Are any of today’s images better than expected?
On Doctor-Patient Trust Day, I realize that my trust for doctors now is better than expected, considering that I encountered a very untrustworthy and hurtful doctor in when I was a child in the hospital. Maybe that’s because my ability to make good decisions once I have the power to choose is better than I expected.
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “better than expected.”
.
I hope this blog post was better than expected and thanks to all who are here, now, including YOU!
In yesterday’s Coping and Healing group, people were sharing what super powers they would choose, including reading people’s minds, flying, and healing the world. I chose to be Good Enough Girl, with the super powers to make people realize that they are good enough, here and now, exactly the way they are.
Do you see any super powers in my images for today?
I wish I had the super powers to make swing states turn blue.
Here’s what happens when I search YouTube for super powers:
.
Another one of my super powers is being Gratitude Gal, so thanks to all who are reading this Super Powers post, including YOU!
When I asked this weird question on a weird social media site last night, somebody asked me to define “weird.”
Weird is in the eye of the beholder, isn’t it? When I was a weird child with a weird heart condition, I thought weird was a bad thing. Now I think weird is wonderful.
Here’s a definition of “weird” from Merriam-Webster:
.
The word “weird” is weird because the usual rule is “I after E except after C.” I don’t see any “C” in weird.
Do you see anything weird in my images for today?
.
There are many weird things on YouTube and here is one of them.
.
Is it weird that my husband Michael and I were talking about this Weird Al parody yesterday?
.
Thanks to all who help me create this weird daily blog, including YOU!
I love action films (especially Jackie Chan and Indiana Jones movies), so I asked this question last night on Twitter:
.
There was a lot of action on Twitter in response to that question.
.
Do you see any action in my other images for today?
.
That post on Threads is generating some action there — I’ve gotten several new followers this morning and shared more pictures of Joan, including this one:
Joan wants more action outdoors.
Here’s the first thing that shows up when I search for “action” on YouTube. Yay!
.
I look forward to the action in the comments section, below.
Thanks to Jackie Chan, Joan, and everyone else who takes action in their lives, including YOU!
Good places, for me, include:
It’s difficult to enjoy the good places when so many innocent people are in bad places on this planet.
Do you see any good places in my images for today?
Good Samaritans help make good places and this is a good place to share a YouTube video about good places.
Below this blog is a good place to leave a comment, if you choose.
I am grateful for all the good places and good people in my life, including YOU.
One thousand, three hundred, and sixty days ago (it’s good to know who’s counting — me!), I wrote another post titled “Good to know.” It’s good to know that it’s still good to know things, even during these times of a deadly pandemic and deadly denial.
I hope it’s good to know that I finally got up some good courage yesterday to call the Internal Revenue Service to know about my good refund, which, as you might know, is a good many months late.
It’s good to know details, so here’s what happened:
It’s good to know that bureaucracies can be made up of good-to-know human beings.
Are any of today’s images good to know?
It’s good to know Hanukkah is starting tonight and Michael will be making good potato latkes very soon.
Here are five good-to-know facts about Hanukkah from watchmojo.com:
Many thanks to all my good-to-know readers, including YOU.
Apparently, my iPhone calendar makes suggested locations for events. Let’s see if I can locate any proof of that kind of suggested location.
I did spend my vacation day yesterday in the suggested location and in other locations very close to the suggested location.
I made sure to be in locations last night to see the full Corn Moon. My first photo, located above, suggests that I was thinking about the Corn Moon all day.
Before I took the last photo located above, I passed by some young neighbors I hadn’t met before, located outside their home. Here’s what transpired at that location, as I walked by with a mask located on my face.
Them: Hello!
Me: Have you seen the moon?
(pause) (during which some thoughts like “how weird am I?” located themselves in my head)
Neighbor: The Corn Moon?
Me: Yes! It’s beautiful.
After I continued on my way to locate the Corn Moon at the end of our street and then turned back, I saw that my young neighbors had followed me to locate the beautiful moon too.
Then, I returned to the suggested location to finish rewatching the Fred Rogers documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?”
I wish that somebody like Fred Rogers was located in the White House and I plan to make my best suggestion about that with a future vote in a suggested location.
Today, my suggested locations include home and near home, again, and all suggestions indicate that those will be my suggested locations for quite some time.
Let’s see what YouTube suggests for this “Suggested Locations” post.
There are so many places that I am not allowed to visit these days, but I still love being in my suggested location.
The suggested location for you to express thoughts and feelings about today’s post is in the comments section, below.
The suggested location for gratitude is anywhere and everywhere, so thanks to all, including YOU.
This just in: Yesterday was Monday!
I saw evidence of Monday all day long, starting with this …
…. and ending with this:
What are your associations with Monday? Let’s see what associations we find in my other Monday photos.
No matter what day it is, I have trouble deciding what to wear.
Here are the top 10 songs about Monday, even though it’s Tuesday.
Every day of the week, I end with thanks to you.
Yesterday, on my way to work, I encountered my first unexpected appearances.
I didn’t expect the appearance of geese on the sidewalk. Did you?
There were more unexpected appearances throughout my day.
The appearance of that duck in front of a local bakery was unexpected. Maybe that duck expects the appearance of bread crumbs.
Expect the unexpected and the appearance of two more photos today. Here’s the first of those now expected photos:
That cat made an unexpected appearance last night at a party where my old friend Lawry and his family made wonderful appearances. (I expect I’ll add links to Lawry’s appearances in previous posts after I publish this one.) (Like this one and this one.)
In two days, my son will be making an expected appearance back in Boston. I expect to appear very happy about that.
This video made an unexpected appearance when I searched YouTube for “unexpected appearances.”
I expect the appearances of unexpected comments about today’s post, below.
Finally, here’s the expected appearance of gratitude at the end of this blog post.
