An anniversary of sorts

[vaneramos]

I didn't realize it yesterday when I wrote that story. I noticed it this morning as I wrote the date in my handwritten journal: Thursday, August 28, 2003. Twenty years ago today, alone in a muggy bedroom, I had a Born Again experience which changed the course of my life. It is just a coincidence that after seven years of hardly giving that anniversary a thought, I decided to record it now. Well, not a coincidence probably; I believe the subconscious mind has more control over us than most of us realize, more than I realize.

I'll continue the stories, but maybe not until next week. Tomorrow the girls are leaving and I'll catch the bus to Toronto to see djjo, bitterlawngnome and danthered. Just what I need after three weeks of scant adult company: a long weekend of good friends and furry hugs. I feel like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, except that all three of them are just right.

Is it that darn knitting dragging you away from us?

I understand how hard it is to keep up. I get frustrated because I keep meeting new, interesting people and know I can't possibly read all the journal entries.

There were very few who I actually missed hearing from while I was away, but you were one of those.

Trouble is you got yourself born on the other side of the world.


It is a trouble, and yet I feel enriched knowing a couple of handsome bears over there. In a small way it satisfied my longing to travel.

My growing friendship/relationship with Danny and the others is different from anything I have experienced before. It suits me in surprising ways. Yes, I am lucky, and glad I joined LJ. I am meeting a different quality of people here.
