In the notes I write about my patients, the list of stressors often includes “unknowns about the future.” However, unknowns aren’t always stressful, as this teabag tells us:

Are there unknowns in my other images for today?
Before today, Mickey Mouse’s birthday was unknown to me.
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “unknowns.”

Thanks to all who deal with unknowns every day, including YOU!
Letting go of regret is a very good habit to practice, since we can’t change the past.
Here and now, I’m letting go of regret about several things I coulda/shoulda/woulda done differently, including not beginning today’s New York Times Wordle puzzle with my usual starting word. Even though that word would have been a better choice than the one I picked today (out of boredom and wanting to try something new), I still solved the puzzle in four tries, which I regret only because I’m locked in a fierce Wordle battle with my husband, Michael.
I have no regret about marrying Michael and I have no regret about taking our cat Joan outside on a leash (even though Joan loudly seems to regret that I don’t take her out more often).
I am now letting go of regret about the images I did and did not collect for today’s post.

The Daily Bitch seems to be letting go of regret about dusting.

Thanks to Kathryn Schulz and to everyone else who helps me in letting go of regret, including YOU!
Because there’s been so much bad news everywhere, I decided to ask people yesterday if there had been any good news lately.
It doesn’t hurt to ask, even though I didn’t know what the answers would be. And while many people have responded “no” and “not really,” there’s been a lot of good news, too.
Knowing about good news gives me some hope about the future, which I definitely need these days.
Is there any good news in my latest images?
The good news is that there are lots of great food trucks out there.

Any good news lately where you are?
Thanks to all who help me focus more on the good news, including YOU.
The United States of America is approaching its midterm election. I am in such a state about the state of our country that I’m afraid to read what this New York Times article states:
I’d like to state that I live in the state of Massachusetts and I wish that the state of my country and the world weren’t so precarious right now. I hope people are in clear-thinking states of mind when they vote in their local elections. The state of inflation is bad world-wide right now and we can’t overstate how often people vote based on the state of their bank accounts. .
What states can you find in my other images for today?
