The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally 
I know I say this all the time, but what a delightful post 🙂
If I could choose a delightful WordPresser as the first person to comment on this post, Alex, it would be you.
That is so kind. I wish my latest post were as maverick as yours. It’s on film posters. But I’m coming up to a landmark figure of followers so might do a more unusual one for that.
Really interesting ponderings. If I could thank anyone right now, it would be you Ann 💛
If I could thank anyone right now, Val, it would be you. ❤
If I could do anything right now, I would see you in person and give you a hug, Ann.
If I could do anything right now, Mark, I would give you a hug back.
Great post Ann 🙂
Enjoy your weekend.
If I were to name a WordPresser who always leaves great comments, Irene, it would be you.
Thank you Ann, positive attitudes are the way 😀
I’m right where I’m meant to be. Yep, love it!
And it’s so right that you’re here, Miriam. Yep, I love that!
Yay!
If I could identify closely with one of these pictures, it would be the jewelry untangler. I am given this task by my wife frequently. I suspect that Michael is much better at it than I am.
You always get me thinking with your posts Ann. Thanks.
If I were to return the compliment, I would authentically state that you get me thinking with your comments and with your posts.
If I were asked to choose the most powerful word in the English language–possibly any language–it would be “if”, because that word opens us up to all imaginative possibilities.
What if at least one person from every country left a comment here?
What if that brought readers from Greenland, Mauritania, Pakistan, and people from the other countries that, so far, haven’t visited here?
What if we learned from that how great the things we have in common are?
If I were to choose one word for your comment, Chris, it would be “powerful.”
If I’m being genuine, I’d say you have picked the perfect tea bag expression.
If I’m being genuine, I’d say you’re always perfectly genuine.
I was thinking a small square with a nameplate and dates at a columbarium, filed in a wall. “She did the best she could at the time”
Your best is great, Ruth. And if I were to tell you that somebody in the group yesterday chose a similar gravestone inscription, would you believe me?
Totally.
Great post, Ann.
If I could write my own epigraph, it would be: Lost in a good book.
If I were to react to your epigraph, Maureen, I would tell you it was great.
If I could do anything right now it would be to gather all my blogging friends together in one room!! I wrote out what I want inscribed on my headstone- it is with my will so there will be no guessing about what to write, It is an acrostic of my Hebrew name -each letter in my names start a sentence.
that’s name not names!! 😀
If I could join that gathering, I would be very happy!
And your inscription sounds lovely!
Brilliant. I enjoyed all your sayings. 😊
If you could see me now, you’d notice me blushing in response to your kind comment.
If you wanted someone to laugh at your gravestone (!) inscription, it was me!! “I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be”. Lol. Absolutely pushed my weird sense of humor button.
If you wanted to find somebody with a similarly weird sense of humor, it’s me! Thanks for the comment, Elva.
You’re welcome.
I would thank more than one Ann. But I’ll start with you. Thank you.
If I could start thanking anybody, it would be you, Colleen. ❤
You are a true<3
If I were to choose the point where I came close to spitting out my coffee, it would be that headstone! Thank you for a wonderful chuckle, Ann.
If a comment could make me very happy, Debra, it would be this wonderful one.
Mmm. That tombstonebuilder.com creeps me out!
If you have feelings, Sunny, express them! ❤
I’m here, innit.
If I could choose somebody to be innit here, Derrick, it would be you.

The very first word on this post reminded me of the very first thing i thought of this morning! which is this…
People today use the word mindfulness to mean a form of meditation or higher awareness that leads to calmness and clearer thinking. My problem is that my mind is full enough already and whenever i try to make it calm and still one of a million different trains of thought goes running through it like – well like a train.
love.
If I were almost two years late responding to your mindful comment, would that be okay?
If i were to ‘like’ your post 2 years after reading it – would that be okay? 🙂
(yes).
Yes!
🙂
