Second year

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.

  16. 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
