Happy Bloggoversary to me.

Well. It's been quite an interesting year.
As Haiku Girl pointed out a few days ago, the first Anniversary is paper.

I guess having Birthdays, Anniversaries, and other annual events allows us a chance to reflect. To look around at what we have or have not accomplished. I guess the feeling of success or failure if certainly in the eye of the beholder. If you're accomplishing what you want to accomplish, then, I suppose it'd be a success.

I know for me, this blog has forced me to:
-look at my life and question some of my actions/decisions/choices (yeah, really it has)
-take time to jot down some notes about life which in turn makes me focus on some of the little things a bit better.
-Unlike Stacy I don't push for topics on the blog. though, I'd probably have a more entertaining one if I did (that and a young 'un).
-Explore feelings about myself in a way that forces me to write them down. Yeah, sort of sounds stupid when I try to explain it that way. Let's try another. I think what it does is it makes me focus on what I'm doing/saying/believing, and why. If I know I'm going to be writing about it later, hell, even if I'm not going to be writing about it, I focus more on it. I'm less automoton, more emotions. Eeek. Scary thought. I'm getting more in touch, as Trillian gets less in touch with her emotions. I think Dan might have it figured out. Live life, don't apologize, just sort of put it all out there. I mean, I take my hat off to, what I call the Minnesota group. Hotbabe , Biglug, Stacy, Denverboy, and the others who comment on each other's sites. Hats off to you.

-Rusty.
