Day 3802: Headline news

In my Coping and Healing groups (which may become headline news if I ever write an article about them), I sometimes ask this question: If there were a cable news network devoted to you, what would be today’s headline?”

Do you see headline news in my images for today?

.

I believe that Weird Al has a song titled “Headline News.” Let’s see …

Headline news: 70-Year-Old Local Woman Correctly Remembers Name of Song.

Is it headline news that I’m very grateful to YOU?

Day 3801: Creativity

I’m thinking about creativity, here and now, because I feel stuck creating a paper I can publish about my creative therapy groups.

Let’s see if creating a blog post about creativity might inspire me.

.

On National Creativity Day, here’s what I find when I search for “creativity.”

.

I look forward to creativity in the comments section, below.

Thanks to all who help me nourish my creativity, including YOU!

Day 3799: Welcome

Welcome to the latest installment of my daily blog, with quotes,

.

… photos,

… questions and answers:

.

… today’s holidays and observances:

.

… something I love on YouTube that’s connected to the title of the post:

.

… and gratitude to all who welcome me into their lives, including YOU!

Day 3798: Great minds

I appreciate great minds, in case you didn’t know.

Do you see great minds in today’s blog post?

Aaron, my red head son, has a great mind and I hope he doesn’t mind when I say that.

Here’s what I find when I search for “great minds” on YouTube.

Thanks to all the great minds that help me blog every day, including YOU!

Day 3797: Escapes

We all need escapes from

• the news,
• injustice,
• cruelty,
• cognitive distortions,
• politics as usual, and
• worry.

Do you see escapes in my images for today?

Thanks to all who share in my escapes, including YOU!

Day 3796: What you haven’t seen

What you haven’t seen includes

• this blog post,
• Democrats and Republicans working together effectively in the U.S. Congress,
• a cure for many diseases,
• the insides of your phone,
• the tooth fairy,
• the invisible man,
• the movie Batgirl (and other unreleased films),
• the seven wonders of the ancient world,
• a purple cow,
• a dodo,
• somebody actually running off a cliff and not falling until they realize where they are (plus other cartoon tropes),
• the future,
• a kashmillion stars, and
• several things below.

What you haven’t seen includes Peace and Disarmament, but we can always hope.

When I search YouTube when for “what you haven’t seen,” I see this

… and this.

I have seen some of the movies. Have you?

What you haven’t seen does NOT (I hope) include my gratitude for YOU.

Day 3789: Karma

Do you know what karma is?

.

Each action creates a certain memory and I am certain that there is karma in my other images for today.

I’m not sure what karma the Daily Bitch is creating there but I sometimes throw pillows when I’m pissed.

Here’s what I find when I search for “karma” on YouTube.

.

Thanks to all who create good karma, including YOU.

Day 3787: Personal growth

Personal growth is my game and Ann Koplow is my name. As a matter of fact, I’ve tagged every blog post I’ve written here with the category “personal growth” (the other constant tagged category is “photojournalism”).

Today, the Daily Bitch has something to say about personal growth.

One aspect of my personal growth has been embracing my inner Daily Bitch. And while I have not had enough of personal growth (if that were true, I wouldn’t return back to work today as an individual and group psychotherapist), I do want to join with the Daily Bitch declaring that I don’t HAVE to do any more personal growth work on myself. As I blogged here when I turned 70, I’ve worked very hard at many things (including personal growth) my whole life, and now it’s time to relax, coast, and not work so hard.

Of course, I’m open to all the personal growth that happens naturally if one is open to change and difference. And I’m 100% there for my patients’ personal growth.

Do you see personal growth in any of my other images for today?

There’s a lot on YouTube about personal growth, including this:

Thanks to all who join me in personal growth, including YOU!

Day 3783: Life is too short

Life is too short to

• worry about the future,
• regret the past, and
• spend too much time on lists.

Life is too short to postpone doing what I want to do, like sharing today’s Daily Bitch Calendar…

… and my question on Twitter last night.

.

Life is too short to not share what we can with each other (including my other images for today).

Life is too short to not eat what I want with people I love, so tonight I’ll be having an early Mother’s Day celebration dinner with my husband Michael, my son Aaron, and his father Leon.

Here’s what I find on YouTube when I search for “life is too short.”

Life is too short to hold back from expressing gratitude and appreciation to others, including YOU!

Day 3782: Important lessons

I learn important lessons every day, including those lessons I need to keep relearning in different ways.

Yesterday, when I was walking with my husband Michael near our home, I heard him repeat this important lesson which I keep relearning: “Where there’s life, there’s hope.”

Do you see important lessons in today’s blog post?

Thanks to all who help me learn important lessons, including YOU!
