I would say that, sometimes, I’m not wanting the company of others, especially if they’re objectionable, offensive, beyond the pale, unacceptable unsocial, asocial, distasteful, disruptive, disorderly, lawless, rebellious, or sociopathic.
I will do my best to live non-judgmentally, be healthy, and express appreciation to others.
I will share my visions with you daily, here at this blog.
Here are my final visions of 2019:
In that last photo, my 2020 vision (corrected by contact lenses) sees my new husband and old boyfriend Michael, the current and future Presidents of NSGP, the future Treasurer of NSGP, and pugs.
My 2020 visions also include
wearing the awesome earrings the future president made for the current president and
I share my thoughts and feelings, hoping that also helps you in some way.
This is the place for me to say this: before you step into 2020, be sure to cancel your subscriptions to other people’s drama and negativity, but please do not cancel your subscription to The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally.

Do you see any clouds in these other recent photos?
Here‘s another song that’s hovering in the clouds of this post, above:
If you were to comment on this post, I’d be on Cloud 9.
Now it’s time to end this post in a cloud of gratitude, so thanks and happy trails to all who help me find my way through the clouds to blog every day, including YOU.
Do we agree that I’ve written lots of posts about “We”?
Here’s a short poem titled “We.”
We
by Ann Koplow
“We” is my favorite pronoun.
It’s much better than “I.”
We are taking vows today
Which will last until we die.
Are we ready for my photos from yesterday?
We (Michael and I) love Jane, the realtor who helped us find the home where we are so happy and who sent us a card, flowers, gingerbread cookies, and cookie-decorating materials yesterday to celebrate our wedding, which is today!
We wish you could all be there to celebrate with us, but we’re told that we can bring only twelve people with us to the civil ceremony.
Here‘s the “We” song I choose for today’s “We” post.
We belong together and I am so grateful for you and for us!
two retreats about group therapy on Saturday and Sunday.
While looking forward to events in the future can help one feel hope, it can also trigger worry and fears about that future, like “Is this too much?” “Will all these activities next week interfere in my self care?” “Will the absence of the late Walter Becker get in the way of my really enjoying the Steely Dan concert?” “What’s the weather going to be like?” “Am I ready for November?” and “Where the hell am I going to park?”
The cure for future-oriented fears is refocusing on the present moment. And in this moment, I have several new photos to share with you.
To make this my day, my way, I’d like to revisit and clarify one difficult-to-read photo above:
History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.
tickets for the last pre-Broadway performance of American Utopia,
a reasonable parking space in Boston,
sushi at our favorite sushi restaurant,
time at a Halloween pop-up store near the theater, and
the chance to witness and enjoy an incredible show with amazing musicians in a miraculous theater.
Every day that I took each of these previously unshared photos was a miracle.
Every one of those photos is a miracle.
Every moment of American Utopiawas a miracle, including “Every Day is a Miracle.” Here‘s a miraculously clear recording of a 2018 performance of that song in Houston.
Every comment you leave is a miracle, for me.
Thanks to all who make my every day a miracle, including YOU.
