I just had fun reading an article about the word “funnest” by Bennett Kleinman, who sounds like a fun guy.
.
These are definitely not the funnest times for the USA, but I still try to have fun when I can.
I don’t know if I’ll have the funnest time today facilitating a group and then singing my protest song tonight for people who may or may not want to hear it, but I’m looking forward to it all.
Making decisions is not the funnest thing for me, and I need to decide soon which distribution platform to use in order to share my original songs on Spotify.

Which of my images today is the funnest?

Yesterday, at the hospital where I work in-person on Mondays, I saw this sign about the little moments.
.
I greatly appreciate that reminder to appreciate the little moments. As usual, I’ll share the little moments in my images for today.

I just spent little moments looking for the Jascha Heifetz performance that made Holly smile (see above) so we could all enjoy these moments together.

Thanks to all who help me appreciate the little moments, including YOU!
During challenging times, self care is especially important.
On the door of my office at the hospital, I display this reminder about self care:

In my Coping and Healing groups, members sometimes express gratitude for safe spaces where they have room to express themselves authentically and to realize they are not alone.
I think we are all looking for safe spaces. Do you see safe spaces in my images for today?

Be kind to yourself, starting now.
There is no downside or disadvantage to being kind to yourself. And yet, people — including those who are kind to others — often have trouble being kind to themselves, especially during difficult times.
Today I’m going to be kind to myself and get a new laptop, which will have the storage I need to use Epic hospital software when I am kindly working from home.
Please be kind to yourself as you look at my other images for today.
