Has it really been 2 years?

First things first-- by a happy coincidence, my first entry on Live Journal happens to also to have occurred on the natal day of one gileswench. So I shout out a happy birthday to her and a thanks for her gracious welcome to fandom, her good wishes and friendship over these many months.

Second thing-- as I note above, I first dove into this community of readers and writers exactly 2 years ago. It gave me an enormous creative boost, and I count so many of you among my friends-- virtual yes, but friends nonetheless.

I don't have much profound to note about the anniversary this year. It's been about 2 months since I first got the bright idea to send an email to Mr. Goodfellow (*name may change; there were so many great ones suggested and he hasn't weighed in with a final choice yet) and propose that we meet while I was home to catch up. Life is really funny, sometimes. So there's another anniversary, and maybe it will change my life in good ways, just as my coming out here did. We can hope, anyway.

So tonight, I wish all of you hope, and courage to dream and to try new things. And I thank you for being part of my virtual life.
