       First I must thank Judith at  Mirror, Mirror on the Wall for being the primary reason I realized today is my journal birthday. You see, I was the lucky number 10,000 at her journal last night. And yes, I admit it darnit, when I visited it was at 9995 and I refreshed exactly 5 times to bestow the victorious 10,000 visitor comment. Because of that little honor, I realized I hadn't looked at my counter in ages and had no idea what number I was at. First I noticed I was getting darn close to the mother number of 20,000 and then I noticed it, November 8th 2004. By damn, I almost missed my own journal birthday!!!

       All right, I'll spare everyone some mushy stuff. I've mushed and gushed enough lately. I'm a humble piece of mush. So, in honor of my journal birthday a few thoughts about this community. Hmm, ok this could get mushy, just one more time, I promise!

       First I would like to thank Karen at Jukebox Woman for being my very first commenter. Her first comment has always been an inspiration to me to keep writing, even the tough stuff.

       So many people to mention............so many people..........I'll do my best and go down my journal lists~

Paul, Aurora Walking Vacation your the first person to ever take the notice, time and interest to suggest and coax me into thinking I could possibly be a poet. Poetry, is something I never exactly thought I wrote until you pointed out the subjective obvious. I personally contribute your nudges with the fact that for the first time ever, I have submitted an actual poem <still struggling with that word, but damn if I'm not doing it> for a national poetry contest...........I'll let you know how it goes.

Virginia,  Animal Spirits your wisdom is something I've leaned on and admire. A strong soul I can feel across the states, your beauty and love is precious.

Tilly, Adventures of a desperately fat housewife first edition, signed and shipped upon publishing straight to Idaho. You have "it" the thing so many writers only wish came naturally. So, I will continue to nudge you.....dangit, someone has to knock J.K. off her pedestal someday!

J.J. Adventures of an Eclectic Mind  one of the first people who was so kind to me. Your a darling in this community and my adoration was straight from the start. Plus, your stories just amaze me!

Dawn, Carpe Diem - Seize the Day thank you for always giving such wonderful comments, a smile and may I mention, I adore your poetry. WIshing you well right now, health and no more IV's are going to be yours and soon. Take care, you and your family, our thoughts are with you.

Charles  Am I thinking that I love your stories, and they way you tell us your daily adventures. I look forward to keeping up with your adventures and someday maybe we'll get to play a video game!

Barb, HEY! LET'S TALK going to your pages is like getting cozy in a big comfy couch. Your wisdom radiates off your pages, your thoughts are well written and take a reader deep inside your world, and it's easy to reflect them right back into my own. A positive light is always a beautiful gift to hold on to, and you do that for this community.

Brian The Love Train the journalville comment poet. High marks for most original comments to be found. Your help in the community really shined through the VIVI's, and your words, comments certainly leave a mark where ever you go. Keep it up Romeo and you will find your real live Julliet out there~

Debbie My Big Fat Greek Life  OPA! I've only just begun <thats a sappy song huh?> to read your journal and just love how you present your pages to all of us. Your stories are well written,intriguing and FUN. The pictures lately, for the Halloween contest, had me rolling in laughter and sympathy for the subjects :o) Thank you for coming by my pages, if you hadn't left a link, I wouldn't have found your delightful world. Makes me want to yell OPA!

Derek, Celebration of My Exhistance I love your pictures and stories of Nana. I'm glad I've inspired some great memories in your world and always enjoy reading about them!

Dee,Dear Diary darlin you've always been such a bright spot on my journal. I admire the amazing things you do for humanity, you are truly an inspiration for everyone!

Charley, Courage your pages are always an inspiration, thought provoking and something to gleam idea's from. I thank you for this!!!

Omar,  Detached and Indifferent Expressions oh my Lord of everything that hasn't already been tagged. My appreciation for Barry Manilow is well, still a flat line, but I can contribute the voice of Colors and Barry for bringing sinister stomping throughout journalville. It takes a powerful Lord to accomplish a ripple in the sea and you my friend are rather good at it. I look forward to more stomping~

Carly, Ellipsis your pages are always beautiful, a delight for my mind to read and beautifully written. I still can't place a typing finger on why I don't comment more, but it's something about every entry that I lurk in, read and selfishly leave with your words.

Penny  Fresh Cup.. your comments on my journal always bring me such a smile. Best new journal Vivi award is most suiting, your a bright spot in this community!!!

Mary, Hunybea's Open Journal  your comments are always so warmingand your journal pages an inspiration to all who visit you. Always giving me thoughts for extra thoughts, and you know, I appreciate that!!

MaryAnne My feelings are real.. Your comments are always appreciated, insightful, and give me pause. Your entries are ALWAYS interesting, and just sort of suck you in, swirl you around in laughter, heartfelt thought, and ah ha moments. Your latest entry, had me wanting to crawl through the screen and give a big hug, lets be two-faced screwballs together!

Jessica, Jessica's thoughts & feelings hey there!Your journal is always a treat for me, your comments a precious gift. Keep up with your inspirational journal. I love the one line blurts that have a special way of making me stop and think when I receive the alert. Usually a couple right after one another. And then I find myself thinking "irony" for hours to come!

Chris, Inane thoughts and insane ramblings  what can I say here. I've adored your pages since I found them. I've admired your relationship and the way you think things through. Now, as soon as I can get out east, I'm coming for dinner!!!!!

Gem, Journally Yours  you bring me energy. I wish I could explain it, but your comments and journal, give me a shot in the arm, no matter what you've written. Something that I always enjoy and always relish. Another bright spot in the world of journals. Keep on keeping on.........

Lori,   Purple Snapdragons your perspective is divine and I always look forward to your comments! I thank you for gifting me with your thoughts and always love visiting your journal myself. Now, find a beautiful home to move into!!

Michelle,  (((Reflections))) what can I say here, I could go on and on..... I adore your comments, I adore your journal, I think your a strong woman with a honest voice in life. An honest voice is something I admire. Thank you and by the way, the pics in your journal have looked wonderful!

Ari, Reflections of Ari Ummmmmm your pinkolicious personality just radiates from your pages. From the first entry I read I was hook, line and sinker........caught like a fish. Your humor and wit blows me away, and yet, sometimes, you show this other side, especially at my journal and when you do, your wisdom lights up my pages just as your humor bonfires in yours.

Chuck  Separation anxiety your words are something that spur me to take a closer look at things in life. I always love a challenge of thought, a shuffle of perspective and a nudge of "think harder Rebecca" Wishing youlight from below.........

Stacy,Simple Escape one of my long time journal friends. Wishing you well and good times through the snow this winter! Although you may not write as much anymore, it's good to know you are still around and I'll wait patiently for your next updates!

Spencer  Spencer's Place your poetry is always from the heart and I respect your ability to show your experiences through the course of words. Your one of the first poets I read on journals, and will always remain one of my favorites.

Cynthia,  Sorting the pieces your pages, your comments. What can I say, that would do you justice. Your perspective and way with words are so honest, so thought provoking and well written that I find most of the time I just jump right inand absorb as much as I can. Your wisdom flows through our community and I look forward to every entry. Thank You.

Celeste, the dailies I've come to look forward to your comments. Can I nominate you for the Queen of one sentence comments that pack a wallop of meaning? I love a person who can convey as much as you do with finesse and wit like that! Can I steal from Ari here and say "You rock!" ?

SierraJazz, Tiny Drop Big Ocean  I've been watching your poetry take form and come alive on your pages. Thats right, I pay attention :o) Your comments always bring me a smile and I thank you, for giving me of your time and gift of words!!

Shaz, THE MEANING OF LIFE ..... Hmmmmm, can I say that your comments crack me up, make me smile and usually throw me for a good old loop! Your flair for words and life radiate off your comments andjournal. I'm so glad you have your picture on your pages, because honestly your exactly how my imagination had you dreamed up to be from your very first comment. Flair my dear, is a naturally beautiful thing not everyone has! Sorry I stood you up Sat. Night!!!

Flava,  The Life and Times of Flava I have your BOOK in my hot little hands. I've just started reading it and will provide my formal book recommendation as soon as I am done. I find myself in awe what you've accomplished and draw inspiration from your story. Your energy is glorious, keep that energy going..........

Bruce, the wizard of ahs your words have given me inspiration on more then one occasion. I've taken more advice then you could realize. I thank you for that. You have a strong voice, and it's nice to come across someone always willing to speak their mind and soul. Wishing you health my friend.

Tanya, Tanya's Expressions your journals are always fun. You got me thinking so much about Halloween spooky movies, I had to go out and rent of few of the classics!! Your poetry is always a treat, Hmmmmmmmm your entries are always fun! I neverknow what I'm going to be surprised with.

Jeff,  What the hell.. I love your current writing assignment. It's always a treat to see how you write about each new topic. You've got a writers talent for making even the most obscure topic interesting!! Good luck with your newest challenge, I'm with you on that one......I'm with you........

Renee, www.TimelessCalligraphyStudio  Your pages are such a delight to visit. Your photography and artwork, your writing and poetry. So much talent wrapped up into once single person. I look forward to every visit.

Dawn, Web Of Dreams your poetry is always a treasure for me to venture through. And then, you went and created a marvelous place foreveryone to share their poetry. Thank you for doing what you do. It is appreciated more then you may realize.

Amanda  HEY I'M COUNTRYYour such a sweet heart and I mean that in the most admirable way. Your picture just makes me smile, your stories touch me from the funny spots to the heartfelt places. Thank you, for being part of my journal experience.

Courtenay, DISCERNMENT Oh you. The person whom I created their own personal folder for. Containing 9 of your journals so I could try to keep up :o) Your community spirit shines through. Your thoughtful entries, and emails have always kept me in the loop and I thank you for that!!! Keep writing my friend, we all enjoy your words as often as you gift them!

B-Creativity--Bits and Pieces Your journal has always been of great interest to me. Your style, your clean cut words, beautiful artwork, idea's and creativity is so inspiring to me.

Judith HeartSong,  Judith HeartSong your light shines in my life. From the beautiful artwork hanging above my computer every day, to the beautiful words on your journal pages, to the inspiration you unselfishly grace every one of us daily. This community would not be the same without you. Thank you, for being you.

Jodi,  Looking Beyond the Cracked Window....one of the first journals I ever started reading. I have watched your writing progress with each new entry. Your poetry on Messages, is soenchanting, it's time the world knew about it. Your poetry reaches into my soul and stirs things around. This my dear friend is what I consider the most important part of writing, the ability to thread itself into other peoples minds. You accomplish that daily with your writing. Thank You, for extending yourfriendship beyond the borders, it's a treasure.

Judith,  Mirror, Mirror on the Wall what can I say. From your ghosting around my journal that drove me crazy until I tracked you down like a hunter with their prey in the sights of a gun, to discovering that you too had a journal that I instantly fell in love with, to your hitting my 10,000visitor, to extending our friendship that has turned into something I would have never dared dreamed possible. Onward to me hitting your 10,000th visitor. So much more in between, that I'll selfishly keep to myself. Thank you my friend. Thank You.


And to the many, many other journalers that have gifted me with their time, their thoughts, and their friendship. I dare say, I know I haven't mentioned everyone I should have and for that I blame space, and having a favorites list, and now all the latest blogs I've added over at bloglines. I have no doubt I've missed many people I shouldn't have........but as I figure it out, I promise, I'll do right by you!!!!

Plus, there is all the new journals I've discovered lately....like Chuck would say "Oy, I'm missing a lot of people here!!"

Thank You, everyone

Darn, I missed posting this monster of an entry by 4 minutes Mountain Time. Oh well, I tried..........all a person can do when time gets the better of you is

Happy Birthday to 'In the Shadow of the Iris"!!!
glad your around.....and wow!  that's an extensive thank you list!!!
great work :D

Well Happy Birthday to "In the shadow of the iris"! Whoo hoo! Have you been able to do that survey yet? Lol! I was just thinking about your journals title and thought that maybe it was in your answers to the J-land survey, but then I thought maybe you have not been able to do it. I know you would have very good answers to it with the way you express yourself in your writing. Hopefully you can get around to doing it but if not, I always wondered what inspired your journals title...maybe you have written about it in the beginning of your journaling and I just missed it...I don't know, Lol! Well Happy journal Birthday!

HAPPY JOURNAL BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!~~  It sure does go by fast doesn't it?!  A year in a life posted for all to read.. go do some back reading today in your archives and relive some of your posts, you will be surprised by what you find I bet : )  I know I always am when I do back reading.

Thank you for including me in the list an alluding to "all "my journals...nothin' like a little ad! As your most loyal lurker, I have to say:

No Fair! You covered every single person who has ever entered the 3100 + comments!   Do you know how I find "great"  journals? I lurk around your journal; I prowl around until someone leaves their link in the comments. My only question is how do you find the time to write your emails to all those who comment?

Seriously, I want to thank you, Rebecca, for teaching the proper etiquette here in J`Land; otherwise I would have been basking in the comments on my journals and I never would have come up for air. Yes, you taught me to write a note of appreciation...you have been a friend to me and I appreciate it immensely.
Congratulations and Happy Anniversary. I cannot wait until your book is published. cMp

Happy Birthday To The Shadow of the Iris...and her age is still so young, yet has grown with wisdom. Thank you Rebecca. That is twice you and Judith made me cry. Your words mean much to me as well. You were among the first to comment in mine. There's been no looking back. Your intelligence, your class....Do I need to say more. You are an incredible Woman! As Theresa put it, part of the tribe.
I be all mushy...but I dont want to take up much space(like thats stopped me before).......You know how I feel. Keep writing. With each word we think, we each word we write...we grow. Thank you.

I want to be wish your journal a Happy Birthday. It is an anniversary worth honoring. Whatever reason you had to begin your journal was worthy. We all have our reasons to start journals. But it takes a lot to keep them going. Here's to many more years of learning the part of you that choose to reveal.

STOMP.

Hey there cutes, put on your dancin' boots and come dance with me,
Come dance with me, what an evening for some terpsichore.
Pretty face, I know a swingin' place, come on dance with me,
Romance with me on a crowded floor.
And while the rhythm swings, what lovely things I'll be sayin',
For what is dancing but making love set to music, playin'.
When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam,
As we wing home, cheek to cheek we'll be,
Come on, come on, come on, come on now
Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away
If you can use, some exotic booze
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come fly with me, come fly, lets fly away
Come fly with me, let's float down to Peru
In lama land, there's a one man band
And he'll toot his flute for you
Come fly with me, lets take of in the blue
Once I get you up there, where the air is rarefied
We'll just glide, starry eyed
Once I get you up there, I'll be holding you so near
You may here, angels cheer - cause were together
Weather wise it's such a lovely day
just say the words, and we'll beat the birds
Down to Acapulco Bay
It's perfect, for a flying honeymoon - they say
Come fly with me
come on ,come on,come dance with me
come on,come on,come fly
come on and dance with me

You know I couldn't do this without a stomp.

Congratulations! You deserve it, uh huh uh huh! Your journal is the best, uh huh uh huh.

Look at your journal. She's walking now. And most of her teeth are in. And she's saying short monosyllabic words and cooing. It's all so precious. Whew oh goodness, I promised myself I wouldn't do this... Oh goi, Gimme a minute here... *tears up*

Happy First Birthday Journal!

Now quick, someone throw a cake in her face, so we can take a picture!

Happy journal birthday!  WoooHooo...  <shaking my butt as I do a happy jig>
Your journal is a year old.  Wow...  I have watched, with sheer amazement, how complex ideas and concepts have exquisitely mature before my eyes over the past several months.  It's been incredible to watch this transformation unfold in your journal.  Nothing but pleasurable is what it's been for me.
No words can express my appreciation for the gift of friendship you have bestowed upon me.  Your eloquent words are the byproduct of your inner beauty.  A treasure chest full of your beauty, a heart filled with joy, and a dear friend in Idaho is what I have.  Can life get any better than this?
A great big Texas size hug to you, my friend.

OK, ok... happy birthday and all that jazz.  I just got around to reading your journal after you left the comment about wanting some bleachers to sit in to watch the entertainment of cops getting electrocuted (tasered).  I thought, "Now here is one seriously sadistic woman".  Then here I am, reading your stuff about flowers and introspection, and I came to the conclusion:  I wish I would have thought of the bleacher line... that's funny stuff!

Wow, top o' the list! But, you got me thinking about whether that's actually a compliment, there. I dislike the words label, and peg, as they both denote restrictiveness, and that's certainly not what I was trying to do. And I don't think I have. Happy J-Birthday.

Thank-you so much for including me here...Sometimes I am too daunted to leave words within your journal...it seems too hallowed a place for me:)
But don't get too teary -eyed, dahling. I loved Notre Dame too, but I hate like hell having being born Catholic!!!!!!!!!
You're wonderful, Rebecca!
Keep giving us exactly what we all need...

XOXOXO always....

Rebecca,

Happy Journal Birthday! I am glad you enjoy my journals, and that I inspired you to enjoy some Halloween movies. Which ones did you rent?

I always enjoy hearing from you, you are truly amazing and I often find myself speechless and breathless by your beautiful words. And you are a huge inspiration to me and others here.

Thank You for recognizing my talents with poetry, and letting me know what you thought!

Thanks for including me :D

Awww...  Thank you for the beautiful mention. But, for you and your journal!.... A milestone is reached! A year... how do you measure a year? Hhhrrmmmph... ::clearing voice::

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand - Moments so dear!
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes,
- How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee?
In inches, in miles? In laughter, in strife?
In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes?
How do you measure a year in the life?

How about love?
How about love?
How about love?
Measure in love
Seasons of love  

O.K... my voice could use some help, but I love the thought behind this song. I was lucky enough to see a live performance of Rent on Broadway, and this song will just jerk your heart out... In the last year you have offered us laughter, and tears, and pieces of yourself. Thank you for that year!

Happy Birthday to The Shadow of the Iris!  I don't think I ever told you this, but the first flower I leared was the Iris,  when I was like 4 we lived in a trailer out on the farm by my Nana.  My mom and me planted Iris's all around the trailer, and put little bricks around them so we had a little iris flowergarden right around our little trailer in the woods.  That flower has always made me smile.

in love and light
