Day 3599: What I’m watching

Here and now, I’m watching the lunar eclipse through my window. As I watch the moon disappear, I know it will reappear again. I wish I felt that confident about eroding rights in the USA.

Later today, I’ll be watching people in remote therapy sessions and at my local polling place. In the evening, I’ll be watching the news after the polling places close. Depending upon the results, I might take a mental health break by watching Joan, who seems to spend a lot of time watching me.

Here are other things I’ve been watching lately:

.

I’m hoping that many Daily Bitches (like me) are voting in this election.

Here’s the first thing that shows up when I search YouTube for “what I’m watching.”

.

I’m watching those I love with gratitude, including you.

Day 3586: Scared

I’m scared about

  • the USA midterm elections,
  • the future of this country, and
  • the future of the world.

When I’m scared, it’s difficult to focus on the gifts of the present moment, even though there are many around me. I will take a breath and try to be less scared, here and now.

Are you scared by any of today’s images?

.

I’m scared of stupid people voting awful and greedy liars into power. If they do, I’m scared that we’re dead.

Here’s “Scared” by the Tragically Hip.

I’m not scared of any reactions you might have to this “scared” post.

Thanks for keeping me company when I’m scared — that helps!

Yesterday, as I was trying to figure out what’s going on in the world, I saw this at a local college:

Let’s see what’s going on in my other images for today.

In case you forgot the title of today’s post, here’s “What’s Going On” by Marvin Gaye.

What’s going on here, now, is gratitude for all of you.
