This morning, we are a little more excited than most. Just felt all day yesterday as if we were stepping into a whole new role in our world that is grand!
There was a time in our life where we thought ours social life pretty empty. We are in "real" life kind of on the shy side. Well, can’t speak for all the others here, but me directly. The makeup of our parts make it very difficult to go out shopping or even stand in long lines at the post office or theater. But, being able to be a part of other’s lives is important to our well being.
One of our doctors, at one point, acknowledged for us that meeting people on the computer was like our optimal distance. We’re thinking that it might be the same for some of you. As much as we can appreciate work, we are really happy to be at home in front of our own computer. We are happy to come home. It’s a connecting feeling like being in the center of a group hug.
We’ve got a few heroes in our on-line life. We respect the leadership shown by John G, Free, Steven, Vivian, and of course, Slo. In all these people we find a special affinity as do many others. None of these people are above and beyond one or the other though and each have made leaps into knowing the broader community and supporting it. They share and empathize with the whole. We feel we have a lot to be grateful for in their company.
But, now there are more. We are a part of both of the journal groups, "The Journal keeper’s" and "Born to Blog." They each seem to be taking on slightly different personalities. Each morning we get the mail from both. We find most journal people want to be known and we find most journal people willing to share and trust to growing degrees.
*Giggle* <----(I do this a lot...), Guess we should stop dawdling here? There are journals to be reading. Don’t forget to send John nominations of your favorites!

Great Pic!! T H A N K S!
And thks for visiting my journal...left a comment to you there.
Ayn... you're MY hero, love. Whatever interest people have in me, it's shadowed greatly by my interest in THEM. I only wish I had more hours, more computers, more hands, and fewer real life responsibilities. Like you, I'm somewhat shy in real life. I hide a lot. I don't have friends. But online, I can be myself. I feel most at home here. We definitely have that in common. :)
Ayn spoken truly. I yhinkof nothing but getting on here. john
V - thanks for the heads up. Stopped in to find your response yesterday, but it was a toughy ... we'll be back though!
*Giggle* Slo ... we're thinking of making you an honorary part ... figure you'd come in between Kate and Ayn. You like to get things accomplished, but save time to be communicating with others! I could make up an extra bed for you!
Yep, yep John ... That's us all over!
Sarah and Jesse
{{{{{Ayn}}}}} thank you for your kind words. And thank you for sharing yourself with both groups. Any good, healthy community community needs diversity and cooperation and participation from its members. You are indeed an outstanding and upstanding member of the AOL Journal community. I'm happy to be here in this community with you.
ah ayn - you make the journal world all sparkly and new...wouldn't be the same here without you..
