I’ve been going through mind changes about several things lately, including:
home remodeling details,
a support group I’m trying to get started for the doctors where I work,
balancing my needs with other people’s needs,
social media,
prioritizing contentment over happiness,
food choices,
exercise,
masking, and
travel.
I have NOT been going through mind changes about my core values, which include authentic connection with others during the precious time we have together on this earth.
Do you see mind changes in my images for today?
Originally I was going to call this blog post “The Little Things,” but I had a mind change about that.
Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “mind changes.”

Thanks to all who experience mind changes, including YOU!
I assume each of us has only one life. So what do we each want to do with our one, precious life? What do we want to do to preserve the precious, one life of others?
This past weekend in the USA too too many people lost their one lives because of gun violence. I am going to spend the rest of my one life doing whatever I can to stop the madness of such easy access to assault weapons — weapons designed to end as many lives as possible as quickly as possible.
This weekend, when so many lives were lost, I spent my one life with those I love doing what I love — the priority for every single day of my one precious life.
How many photos do we have?
Because I don’t have nine lives, I don’t smoke and I try to live healthy. I owe it to myself and to those who love me.
When I search YouTube for “How Many Lives Do We Have?” I find this:
How many thoughts and feelings do you have, here and now? I look forward to reading every one of my readers’ comments.
How much gratitude do I have for those who helped me create this post and for you?
Another one of my priorities for these daily blog posts is sharing my photos from the day before:
Obviously, my priorities today didn’t include repositioning any of those photos. However, my priorities always include thanking all who help me create these posts and — of course! — YOU!
Yesterday, I was near the Paramount Theater in downtown Boston.
Today, it is paramount that I facilitate an all-day retreat for group therapists, where we’ll be talking about paramount issues.
Therefore, I am going to post all my photos of the Paramount and let you decide which of the photos is paramount for you.
But first, an accurate definition of “paramount” might be paramount at this point.
par·a·mount
ˈperəˌmount
adjective
more important than anything else; supreme.
“the interests of the child are of paramount importance”
synonyms: most important, of greatest/prime importance
Finding one’s purpose is often paramount, no matter how difficult or funny it is.
Because some people think it’s paramount for me to include a video in these blog posts, here’s the result of my search on YouTube for “paramount song”:
It’s not paramount that you leave a comment, but it is paramount for me to thank Boston’s Paramount Theater, the Paramount School of Excellence, and — of course! — YOU.
Is it important what music I include in these posts?
What’s important to me is what’s important to you, here and now.
Important thanks to all the important ones who contributed to this post and to you — of course! — because you are important, no matter what you think or feel.
I am in the middle of watching a lot of “Breaking Bad” episodes, in an attempt to catch up. I would like to watch the final episode on Sunday with people I love.
I’m probably not going to make it, but I’m going to do my best.
I’m going to make decisions, recognizing there are trade-offs at each point.
I want to take care of myself first.
My priorities may shift, throughout this process.
I am currently watching the Fly episode.
Walter White just said,
There is no room for error, not with these people.
Thank goodness I’m not dealing with people like that, these days.
Thanks to creative people, imperfectionists everywhere, and to you, for reading today.
