Two days in a row, I’ll tell you.  If I have much more fun, I don’t think I will know what to do with myself.

This afternoon, we went to see Wicked…. AGAIN.  Now, this is at least the fifth time.  Confirmed by those who were with us tonight.  Once on Broadway, twice with my brother & sister-in-law, once with the grandkids, and now…. today.  Makes five.  I think we had another one in there, with friends… but I can’t remember who.  None-the-less.

That was WAY too much information, simply to tell you, I love the play.  But, but, but….. when you see something on Broadway, the “bar” is set pretty high from there on out.  The “traveling Broadway” series have been very good in the past.  Very good.

But today, was the best one ever.  Of ALL of them.  It was absolutely magnificent.  To me.

I laughed.  I cried.  And when it was over… I said… “Ooooooo.  Let’s do that AGAIN.”  Yes, high praises for that one.  A big Bravo.  A standing O.  A happy dance.  I am in awe of the talents that those performers possess.

But what really made the day, were the people in our group.  I love each and every one of them so much.  And today felt pretty spang-dangly to be with them.  Afterward, we ate at Jay’s Fishhouse… which serves  the slowest swimming fish East of the Mississippi.  But even still, it was all good.

I feel such a true life appreciation for each one of these “loved ones” of mine.  My heart fills up with it.  Things feel true with them.  Genuine.  There is a shared virtue, and worthiness, and tenderness there.  Kindness and Caring.

There is a song in Wicked called For Good, and the lyrics really sum it up.
Especially about some very certain people in my life….

Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But because I knew you…

Because I knew you…
I have been changed for good.

Yep.  I am a better person for having know certain people in my life.
I have been changed for the good, because of them.

I am eternally aware, and grateful for this gift.
