      Just focus on the most concrete part of your life. Appreciate that and branch out. From there, you can begin to feel confident and grateful about the rest of it. Trust me, it takes time

    Joe, I may not be using this to aid in sleep - yet, as I go through a healing in my chronic illness - it is with great gratitude I turn here to calmed and put to ease in my body.
    As an academic, it's a pleasure to hear you divulge into the many interests of the world.

    I always had a lot of nostalgia for the 70s decorating books and magazines as my grandma always had a big stack of them from the 60s and 70s and the design styles were just amazing as a kid and the holidays photo spreads of decorating just about everything and the dinner wares were like really impressive as we were never going to do things like that but it was just interesting and neat to see it,even it was just something a well-to-do family with a hired decorator would be able to do.
    My parents had quite a few decor items that still are in the old house today, like the big burnt orange upside down funnel fireplace that was totally a 60s/70s thing and odd chrome chandelier made of thin curved pipes and had big white glass spheres for the lights and a big hanging pendulum light ball that is chrome with a basketball size glass ball cover. Had some really cool rocking chairs that were very mod and comfortable, in a dark green and dark orange and golden color scheme, but they let someone borrow it and never got it back.

    Joe,
    I was lucky enough to discover your work late last night, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am. I don’t have trouble falling asleep, but I do battle intrusive thoughts, and have been going through an especially tough time mentally the last few days. Your shows have brought a peace and calm back into my conscious, and they remind me of the simple things and how every person has an amazing story they’ve lived through and sometimes we just need to listen. I needed this, I truly did. Thank you

    How interesting!
    I grew up with key limes in my backyard. All the wood was covered in layers and layers of peeling white paint. The paint on the deck boards was gray -- the only gray I can remember back then; we didn't have much gray. There were no fireplaces in that region, too hot. Once after a sun shower I slipped on the wet gray wood and caught enough air to clear a pub table, but I surprisingly, did not get hurt. However I slipped right into the ocean. A were-angel on vacation from Iowa helped me but he did not let me back on dry land. Instead, he threw rings in the water which he made me retrieve until I learned to regulate my breathing. This way I would never need anyone's help again. We were married that same year. However, we divorced the following year due to an argument over who landed on the moon first -- but I learned so much from him and as you can see, I've not drown. Yet. Ha-ha.
    I'm afraid that's where our similarities end, Joe, but it's amazing how the lives of two strangers can parallel if only for a moment. I hope you have a wonderful evening.💜

      I never had an issue with sinking, i typically had to kinda fight to dive under at first but tended to keep rising. Lol

    Hello everyone. Sorry to enter the comment section without knocking first, but the door was already open and no one could hear me over Baba O'Riley on the radio.
    I won't take up too much of your time, I have to get home to take some rolls out of the oven, anyway.
    I was just hoping that if Joe Pera ever sees this, I might kindly ask him for a future episode where instead of talking me to sleep, he helps start my morning. It'd be nice to hear his take on the potential of each new day.
    I'll happily trade a can of my homemade brown bread, my dad's bean soup recipe, or an embrassing picture of me from the fifth grade for the episode.
    Have a good night and please consider my proposal. I'll see you all at school tomorrow. Goodbye.
