Two days in a row, I\u2019ll tell you.\u00a0 If I have much more fun, I don\u2019t think I will know what to do with myself.<\/p>\n

This afternoon, we went to see Wicked\u2026. AGAIN.\u00a0 Now, this is at least the fifth time.\u00a0 Confirmed by those who were with us tonight.\u00a0 Once on Broadway, twice with my brother & sister-in-law, once with the grandkids, and now\u2026. today.\u00a0 Makes five.\u00a0 I think we had another one in there, with friends\u2026 but I can\u2019t remember who.\u00a0 None-the-less.<\/p>\n

That was WAY too much information, simply to tell you, I love the play.\u00a0 But, but, but….. when you see something on Broadway, the \u201cbar\u201d is set pretty high from there on out.\u00a0 The \u201ctraveling Broadway\u201d series have been very good in the past.\u00a0 Very good.<\/p>\n

But today, was the best one ever.\u00a0 Of ALL of them.\u00a0 It was absolutely magnificent.\u00a0 To me.<\/p>\n

I laughed.\u00a0 I cried.\u00a0 And when it was over\u2026 I said\u2026 \u201cOoooooo.\u00a0 Let\u2019s do that AGAIN.\u201d\u00a0 Yes, high praises for that one.\u00a0 A big Bravo.\u00a0 A standing O.\u00a0 A happy dance.\u00a0 I am in awe of the talents that those performers possess.<\/p>\n

But what really made the day, were the people in our group.\u00a0 I love each and every one of them so much.\u00a0 And today felt pretty spang-dangly to be with them.\u00a0 Afterward, we ate at Jay\u2019s Fishhouse\u2026 which serves\u00a0 the slowest swimming fish East of the Mississippi.\u00a0 But even still, it was all good.<\/p>\n

I feel such a true life appreciation for each one of these \u201cloved ones\u201d of mine.\u00a0 My heart fills up with it.\u00a0 Things feel true with them.\u00a0 Genuine.\u00a0 There is a shared virtue, and worthiness, and tenderness there.\u00a0 Kindness and Caring.<\/p>\n

There is a song in Wicked called For Good, and the lyrics really sum it up.
\nEspecially about some very certain people in my life\u2026.<\/p>\n

Who can say if I\u2019ve been changed for the better?<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nBut because I knew you\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Because I knew you\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nI have been changed for good.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Yep.\u00a0 I am a better person for having know certain people in my life.
\nI have been changed for the good, because of them.<\/p>\n

I am eternally aware, and grateful for this gift.<\/p>\n

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.\u00a0 —\u00a0 <\/span>Leo Buscaglia<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have.– <\/span>Margaret Mead<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
