A Year

I don't know if I have ever journaled for a complete year.....or at least a year with any regularity. I think the last hand written journal I had started in maybe '96 and went through '02 or so. That journal saw a lot of my life but not with any regularity.

So here I am one year later. I suppose I am fairly happy with myself for keeping up the effort. I think I can also look in the mirror and say I am aware of myself: my weaknesses and strengths. It's also been fun. Most of all I hope that it has been meaningful for friends to be able to stay in touch and hopefully for somebody to get to know me in the future. This hopefully will live beyond me. Also in another light I have made some friends and strengthened other friendships and that is cool.

I think I will keep this up for now. In a lot of ways it keeps me healthy by allowing me to share what is on my mind freely. I need this space and in a lot of ways I find myself craving to come here and that is good. It means that I am getting something out of it. I like that.

One year.........
