It’s kind of a big deal
- that Michael and I are getting married tomorrow and
- that my kind and kind-of-a-big deal niece Julie gave me this t-shirt for Christmas:
It’s kind of a big deal that Julie wants to use the lyrics I wrote four days ago for her 10th annual Women’s Getaway Weekend on March 21 & 22 in New Hampshire.
It’s kind of a big deal that
- The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally is still going strong here at WordPress after seven years of daily blogs,
- my boyfriend/fiancé/soon-to-be-husband Michael supports me in so many ways (including being my substitute blogger after my open heart surgery in 2016),
- my therapy groups are thriving,
- I’m President of the professional organization that’s been sustaining me and many others for decades,
- I’ve performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (and may be performing there again next year),
- I gave a speech at the 45th reunion of Harvard’s class of 1974,
- I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my life,
- I no longer worry about bragging and many other things I used to worry about,
- there’ll be a Presidential election next year in the USA,
- my son’s girlfriend will be visiting us from Jordan after the first of the year,
- my son will read every post I’ve written after I’m gone and (I hope) realize this blog is a love letter to him and many others, and
- YOU use your precious time to read this blog.
It’s kind of a big deal that I took all these photos yesterday:
It’s kind of a big deal that I won that book at Michael’s family‘s Yankee Swap.

Love you, Val, and you are kind of a big deal!!
It’s funny that the day before a big event is a pretty big deal in itself and that, as you look around at your life, you start to realize what a big deal it is.
Have a wonderful wedding tomorrow!
Thank you, my funny, wonderful, kind, and kind-of-a-big-deal friend.
Hi, Ann, in less than 24 hours you will be getting married. Although I’m far I will be present in spirit celebrating your special day. That picture with the cloud shaped like an angel attracted my eye. How seldom does one see that? It’s such a hopeful and peaceful sign. Best wishes to you.
Your comments are always kind and kind of a big deal here. Many thanks for your hopeful and peaceful words.
December 27th, 2019 is a big deal! I hope you have a wonderful day. And as a wedding gift to the two go you, why not take the day off from blogging?
