Here are new lyrics for “I Can’t See Clearly Now””
I can’t see clearly now
There’s darkness here.
So many obstacles in our way.
It seems like everyone is acting blind.
When’s the next bright (bright) bright (bright) sun-shiney day?
When’s the next bright (bright) bright (bright) sun-shiney day?
I hope we can make it now
The pain is here.
All of these bad feelings have reappeared
Where is the rainbow I’ve been praying for?
When’s the next bright (bright) bright (bright) sun-shiney day?
Look all around, I don’t see blue skies.
Look straight ahead, I’m sighing some blue sighs.
I can’t see clearly now
There’s darkness there.
So many obstacles in our way.
Where are the the people so humane and kind?
When’s the next bright (bright) bright (bright) sun-shiney day?
When’s the next bright (bright) bright (bright) sun-shiney day?
Can you see clearly, now, my other photos for today?
Even though there’s not much left to take from that kristindudish.com heart, there’s still inspiration there. Let’s take what we need wherever we can find it.
At the end of a therapy group or any other important gathering, I sometimes ask if there are unexpressed thoughts. And, of course, there always are.
On the plane home from Chicago, I expressed some unexpressed thoughts by writing my third original song in the past two months. I’d like to express my surprise at this new and previously unexpressed and unexplored creative outlet.
The title of this new song might be “Unexpressed Thoughts.” Here are some previously unexpressed lyrics:
I have unexpressed indecision about the lyrics following those. Do you have any thoughts about which version you prefer? Feel free to express those thoughts (or any others) below.
If you want to hear the thoughts in here, I’ll share.
And then, I express my unexpressed thoughts in song.
Let’s see if there are any unexpressed thoughts in my photos from yesterday.
I wonder about Harley’s unexpressed thoughts. I expressed my thought last night that one of those clouds looked like a dragon and Michael expressed agreement. And Aaron and I expressed our gratitude about another delicious meal from Michael.
Are there any unexpressed thoughts on YouTube? I found unexpressed thoughts here,
Is that a real piece of art? Do any of my other photos today show real pieces of art? Or real pieces of anything else?
This post has 70 photos, but who’s counting? (For the answer to that question, please see yesterday’s post.)
In case it was difficult to see the real pieces of art in one of the photos above, here’s a closer look at it:
That’s the exterior of the Chicago Tribune building, which includes real pieces of art from around the world, including pieces of Edinburgh Castle and the Taj Mahal.
I’ve been working on real pieces of a new song, which somebody recorded when I performed it yesterday. Perhaps a real piece of that will show up on YouTube soon, too.
I’m looking forward to real pieces of comments, below.
A real piece of gratitude to all the real pieces of art and real pieces of other things that appeared in today’s post and — of course! — to YOU.
Two thousand thanks to all who helped me blog daily, including Michael who took over for two posts (here and here ) after my open heart surgery on September 21, 2016. Michael’s two posts had the most likes and the most comments in the last two thousand days, but who’s counting?
Actually, over the last two thousand days, I’ve asked “Who’s counting?” many, many times, and I think today is a great day to reveal the answer to that question.
Who’s counting? Me. I’m counting. And I’ve been counting on this blog and on all of you to help me learn, grow, and get through every day.
Let’s see if the latest photos on my iPhone are relevant for today.
They were taking off the roof of this house yesterday on the South Shore of Boston. Later that day, I saw and heard somebody in a Chicago subway station tap dancing to “Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof.” (A song that helped me get through pneumonia, as described in this April 18, 2016 post.)

Which of those looks the most presidential to you?
Are any of the following photos (taken by a soon-to-be-president) dignified. confident, or otherwise presidential?
This month’s big presidential question IS where do we go from here?
This president-elect is going from here to Chicago today, for a gathering of other group psychotherapy presidents. Here is Chicago asking “Where Do We Go from Here?”
Presidential thanks to all who helped me create this presidential post and — of course! — to YOU.
It’s good that I noticed that my first two photos from yesterday have good in them.
Do you see the good there, my good people? Do you see the good in other people? Do you see more good than bad?
I guess I see more good than bad: I’ve written 41 posts here with the word “Good” in the title (starting with Day 3: The Fear of Feeling Too Good) and I’ve written 14 posts with the word “Bad” in the title (starting with Day 263: Bad Day/Good Day, which has good in it, too).
Do you see the good in the other photos here?
A good friend texted me that good drawing, above, with this good caption: “Got your back.”
It’s always good to end with thanks. Thanks to all who help me create all my good posts, including this one, and to you — of course! — for being good enough to be here, now.
