My five accomplishments this week:
Attended a conference dealing with psychoanalysis for homeless people.
Kept my mouth shut and let others have the floor. Listened.
Approached cashiers and others with, “Good afternoon!” Got out of a taxi and wished the driver “Salaam aleikum!” Showed appreciation for working people.
Engaged in conversation with strangers on the bus. Talk flowed from “I love your scarf!” to “Trump is full of shit.” The usual exchange of New York pleasantries.
Dreamt that someone in a ski mask was chasing Musk with a chainsaw. Woke up at peace with myself, and with the world.
