Day 4549: Helpful phrases

In therapy, I often encourage people to write helpful phrases on post-it notes that they can easily see.

Yesterday, on my walk, I saw several helpful phrases.

Yesterday, I also added helpful phrases (I hope!) to my latest song “What’s Wrong With Looking Older?” to complete the lyrics.

Day 4538: Titles

When I was on the train to NYC, I shared some of my song titles with people I’d just met. They told me they did NOT like my title “I’d Like to Win the Grammy for Best New Artist.” When I sang them the song, they changed their minds.

Here’s the song with that title:

.

The title of yesterday’s blog post was “Decisions, decisions.” One of the decisions, decisions I’ve been struggling with for over a year is whether the audio from that song (and all the other songs I performed at the venue with the title “Lilypad”) are good enough for release to Spotify or whether I need to record them again.

Title me “Unsure” and “Ambivalent.”

In the meantime, I started writing a new song yesterday with the title “What’s Wrong with Looking Older?”

I wonder what people are going to think about that title and that song.

My friend Janet’s new book has an interesting title.

.

I wrote Janet yesterday that her title was particularly apt because that volume really vanished: the wind had blown the delivery package under our Japanese Maple where it lay hidden for days. Janet replied, “Wow! I should’ve called it Gone With the Wind.”

How might you title my other images for today?

.

Title me grateful yesterday, today, and tomorrow for wonderful people like YOU.
