Day 4515: What is going on here?

Posted on May 13, 2025 by Ann Koplow

These days, I’m often wondering “What is going on here?”

I’m guessing that “What is going on here?” is what Joan is thinking about our new cat toy.

I’m thinking, here and now, that nobody really know what is going on here — we’re doing our best to guess, but there are always hidden factors. So maybe we are all Joan as we try to figure out what is going on here with our inevitably limited perspectives.

What is going on here in my images for today?

What is going on here in my world includes packing up/throwing away 14 years worth of memories in my office at the hospital, because we are being moved to shared spaces on a different floor. Because I still have a soul (phew!), I have some feelings about what is going on there, but it helps to know that I am not alone.

I assume that when I search for “what is going on here?“ I’ll find another great songwriter.

Thanks to all who help me create this daily what-is-going-on-here blog, including YOU!

What on earth is going on in this blog post?

On Take a Chance Day, I’m going to take a chance that I’ll find something interesting on YouTube when I search for “what on earth is going on?”

Also, here’s Marvin Gaye with “What’s Going On.”

Thanks to all those who help me try to figure out what on earth is going on, including YOU.

Day 2728: A lot going on

Posted on June 20, 2020 by Ann Koplow

Yesterday, in what I’ve been calling the home version of my Coping and Healing groups (because everybody there, including me, is participating from their homes), there was a lot going on.

There IS a lot going on, isn’t there? What’s going on where you are?

Is there a lot going on in my other photos from yesterday?

When there’s a lot going on, sometimes we get lost. I hope we all, including Chelsea the cat, find our way.

Here‘s a 1972 performance of “What’s Going On” by Marvin Gaye.

There’s been a lot going on since then, but there’s a lot more to do if we’re to get to where we need to be going.

There’s lot of gratitude going on here for everyone, including YOU.

Day 1715: What’s going on?

Posted on September 11, 2017 by Ann Koplow

Often, when I read the news these days, I ask

What’s going on?

Just now, when I was trying to glean from online reports what’s happened and is happening in Florida, I asked that question again.

Then, I thought of the 1971 song written by Renaldo Benson, Al Cleveland and Marvin Gaye (going on here at YouTube).

What’s going on? It seems like a lot of the same things are going on today.

As I was going on about my day yesterday, I took many pictures. Whats going on in these photographs?

What’s going on in that last photo reminds me of this post I wrote two days ago.

What’s going on with you?

As usual, gratitude is going on here for all who helped me write this post and — of course! — for my readers. I hope everybody is safe, no matter what is going on around you.
