Who Me?

       Well, wow. I wish I had even 10 minutes notice about this AOL journal Editors feature. I would have straightened things up around here, dusted off the columns, spiffed up the headers or something.

       The entry I left this morning could be enough to scare off any potential new readers :o) Thankfully, I have fellow journalers who have frequented my journal enough now, that your all used to sporadic unleashing of thoughts and words like that. You don't send me and my bag of words off to the psycho ward of Internet land. Whew!

       Ramblings. Thats what our new editor Joe themed as my journal. Tipping my hat to Joe. Joe said it was possibly an unflattering name on the message board. Well, maybe, maybe not. I do tend to ramble. I shamelessly admit to going off on small little rambling moments from time to time. <Come on, admit it, my journal friends, sometimes your probably shaking your head trying to read my writing, thinking wow, this chick can ramble on and on, LOL a lot like right now>

       Rambling is simply a way to clean out the clutter that seems to float around aimlessly through all the corridors here in my mind. It's also a nice safe medium to write what I will, without regard to what others think. I keep my journal safely hidden away from family and personal friends. I like to think it keeps things "real" in a sense, I don't have to worry about editing for privacy against those who "know" me.

       Rambling is a way for me, to do what I love. Writing. Online journals is relatively new to me, since I believe last October. Writing thoughts is something I've done since I could hold a pencil. Journals by the truckload I have stashed away. I've come to love this form of writing, online journals. I can still release all my thoughts, sometimes day to day life. I can adorn my pages with visual aspects that pleases my eye. I receive feedback and comments on my idea's and wanderings. Every little comment is like mini-Christmas presents. I get to read new insights, new idea's on my opinions. I feel inspired by other journals I read, inspired by the wonderful comments left on my journal. <see I'm rambling Joe>

       All right, just alittle more rambling. I had thought back in December when I got the "we might feature you email" that because of my response I wouldn't be selected. I had that privacy worry that if by chance I was featured and made #1 <you never know> , my picture <there goes privacy from family and friends> would be front page to something. So I had responded back with "Sorry, can't give you permission for a pic." So #2, that fixes that issue!

       Ok, without further rambling, and resisting giving a Sally Field speech here. I just wanted to say thank you. Especially to those who have visited me before my 5 minutes of fame :o) To any new visitors, thank you for visiting. I hope you enjoy my little corner of Internet land. Don't forget, if you leave a mini-Christmas present comment, a link to your own journal is always appreciated!

        Another beautiful day..............
