Day 4801: Anxiety

Posted on February 23, 2026 by Ann Koplow

I’m experiencing anxiety about today’s “massive” nor’easter, the massive damage being done to my country by the current administration, and my non-massive music career.

Like any other mother, I have felt some anxiety about my child. Thankfully, I’m not feeling any anxiety about him today — his 28th birthday. I also have no anxiety about continuing my tradition of posting this old video of his on February 23.

Do you have any anxiety about my images for today?

Here’s a song I wrote about anxiety:

Thanks to all who help me deal with my anxiety, including YOU!

Day 1678: What makes you anxious?

Posted on August 5, 2017 by Ann Koplow

What makes me anxious? In the past, I’ve answered that question as follows:

heights,
flying,
the fear of failure,
mistakes that might have dire consequences,
stupid people in positions of power,
heart surgery,
pain,
people leaving,
getting a sore throat, and
singing in front of people.

Last night, I sang in front of people at an Open Mic in Arlington, Massachusetts, with almost no anxiety.

Will it make you anxious to watch that performance?

Sharing pictures on WordPress sometimes makes me anxious, but not today.

What makes you anxious?

Calm thanks to all who helped me create this non-anxious post and to you — of course! — no matter what makes you anxious.
