Awesome Gifts

Don and I had the utmost delight recently as vorlonking sent us a package all the way from jolly olde England, :-). First of all, the envelope was a work of art to itself which Paul so carefully created with his own hands. Honestly folks, we've never seen such beautiful hand-drawn decor on an envelope before...amazing indeed. The contents added to our delight as we discovered a Crop Circle calendar(WOO!HOO!) and several beautiful postcards featuring places near Paul's shop as well as ancient sacred sites, including Arthur's castle at Tintagel. Bottom line: we are sooooooooooo WOWED!

Thanks Paul!

A Quiet Celebration

Yesterday was my fifth birthday. Now before any confusion ensues please allow some clarification. Five years ago yesterday, the real me emerged into this life for the first time as I stepped out of that deep, dank, self-imposed prison known as the closet. There was chaos, of course, as a marriage of ten years came to its bitter end. I had tried to fit into the mold which society and the church said I belonged in...to no avail. Some things simply are not meant to be. As I made my way into Boston yesterday, I refelcted on the past five years and whether things were improved over that time. The obvious answer is an absolute YES! That's not to say that all is perfect, comfortable, or made all nice. There are ripple effects still in place which will most likely be there for the remainder of my days. The point is: I'm living in a city I love with the man I love doing the work I love. Could anyone ask for more?

So...

Is it just my imagination or do people only respond to drama here...just like in real life? Translation: unless you have some sort of trauma going on in your life or someone in your life who is interesting, you're pretty much typing away with nary a soul bothering to stop and have a read. Whatever.

*feeling like this is beginning to be a waste of precious time after all*

We'll see.

Just how incredibly far reaching are my expectations anyway? Maybe it's time to look into Yahoo groups after all...for all the "good" it'll do.
