I have been writing in my journal for 2 years today. When I started this journal, I never dreamed that I would continue doing this. I was never one much for writing. I enjoyed reading, but writing? NO. I did not realize how much my journal would help me cope with the things going on in my life. I did not know that I would actually make real friends here. I was not looking to make friends or even have a place to go to. I liked surfing around on the net, playing some games ( actually a lot of games) and looking up information. I would get my coupons and free stuff, pay bills and play games. Sure I would talk to people in the game rooms but a friendship? Not really. I met a few that I have become friends with beyond the game rooms but for the most part they were just players. But not here. Within the boundaries of my journal and yours I have come to know you and I have come to know more about myself. I have come to know some of you beyond the boundaries of our journals and for that I am eternally grateful. My life is richer and fuller and it is a direct result of journals. I do not know how long I will keep up my journal but I can tell you this, I see no end to it. If I should ever leave AOL I will still journal, either thru AIM or my Blogspot journal or both. I thank each and everyone of you.
Today is not only the 2 year anniversary of my journal it is also Buddy's second birthday.
Congratulations on your second anniversary, long may you write! Happy Birthday Buddy!

Congradulations! And happy birthday to Buddy! I've been journaling for about a year...I need to look. But I know what you mean about the experience. It has shown me how warm, loving and understanding women friends can be. - Barbara
