Do you see any messages from the universe in my other images for today?
Maybe you should hydrate more. It’s a brand new day. There is art everywhere. There’s more than one way to commute to work. I should really visit the Kennedy Library one of these days. There are dangers and protections everywhere. What the hell is happening to the United States? Is it strong enough to endure? And, it sure is windy around here.Maybe I should stop captioning these images and let you see your own messages from the universe.
Messages from the universe are encouraging me to visit a beach, be aware of my grief for those I loved and lost, and remember all those delicious toasted marshmallows.
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “messages from the universe.”
I will start this post where I am — on my way from Boston’s Logan Airport in a Lyft to our home on the South Shore.
Because I am starting the day with no sleep after a red-eye flight from Portland, Oregon, I may need to change the ending after I gather and share all my latest photos. Let’s see where we end up.
Start where you are and you very well may end up with pizza.
This is what I find on YouTube when I start searching for “start where you are.”
I start and end with gratitude no matter where I am, so thanks to all who help me start and end my blog posts, including YOU.
Yesterday, when I was at the Boston Opera House to see the moving musical Hadestown, I discovered this:
As we are moving through the pandemic, I am discovering that more people feel safe enough to move together in a crowd.
Today, what moves me is going to be an Amtrak train taking me and my son Aaron to New York City. I’ll discover what moves me in NYC, besides the new Broadway production of Company and Late Night with Steven Colbert, once I get there.
What moves me is that my son Aaron still likes to travel with me.
Discover what moves you in today’s blog post, including these images:
No matter how much I move, I am not discovering a flat stomach.
In therapy, whenever somebody assigns a negative label to themselves — like lazy, unworthy, stupid, selfish, or bad — I suggest they replace that label with one word. Human.
I’m grateful this the human writing this blog is getting a break from work so she can feel more human and ready to deal with the pain of many humans when she returns in two weeks.
Last night, with humans I love, I saw comedian John Mulaney do a very human stand-up routine in Boston, in which he talked about his friends’ intervention into his drug use, his treatment, and many other human experiences. After the show, my son Aaron, my niece Victoria, and I shared our gratitude for witnessing a much more human, darker, deeper, and still hilarious John Mulaney.
It’s only human that I want to share a few quotes about being human, here and now.
Here are the other human images I choose to share with you today.
If you’re human, you need a break, and it’s only human to waffle and enjoy pie.
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “human”:
I look forward to your human comments, below.
This human ends every post with gratitude, so thanks to all who help me create this daily human blog, including YOU!
Have you noticed that your opinion is not always shared by others, including family members and friends?
When opinions are different, my opinion is that people might
defend,
declaim,
double down,
demonize,
discriminate,
distrust,
disappoint,
disassociate, and/or
disappear.
And those are just the D-words of what people might do!
What do you do when your opinion is different?
My opinion is that people might respond “that depends.”
Sometimes, other people’s opinions are disturbing (see today’s news for plenty of examples). However, different opinions can also be illuminating, instructive, and inspiring.
Today, I am interested in other people’s opinions about opinions AND about which video I should use of my song “Vaccine.”
The opinions expressed by the Daily Bitch are her own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of she who creates and maintainsThe Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally.
Thanks to you for reading my opinions, no matter what your opinion may be.
Lately, I’ve been using a helpful image to leave behind and let go of toxic things in my life: I imagine them in the rear view mirror of my car, getting smaller as I drive away.
Yesterday, I decided that our shy cat Harley could probably teach people a thing or two about social distancing, so I started taping this tutorial:
However, Harley didn’t teach the way I expected him to. Based on my past knowledge of Harley, I assume that Harley’s behavior was different because his best friend Michael was in the room.
This morning, when Michael was not in the room, I tried again:
Somebody can teach me something about how to hold the camera and Harley can teach us all this about social distancing:
Maintain a distance of six feet from people.
If somebody gets too close, move away, if possible.
If not, ask the person to back off.
Harley also teaches us that fear can make us very catty.
What can these other recent images teach us?
That teabag can teach us that our strength is our own knowledge.
I hope our knowledge and our strength help us all get through this. I look forward to the teachings in the comments section, below.
Yesterday, in my Coping and Healing group, the members talked about what’s going on in the world, expressing the wish that different people could be sitting down, sharing, and getting along.
What’s the secret to getting along? According to the group members yesterday, it’s listening to each other with respect.
I need to be getting along to work early this morning, so here are all my other photos from yesterday:
