Four Years...

I can hardly beleive that I have been doing this for four years...  February 16th was the five year anniversary of my "cardiac episode" and a year less for "My New Life". Wow!

For those of my blogging friends that have read me from the beginning (Kelly) I thank you for your encouragement to keep on posting...  For those of you that, for what ever reason, have stumbled on to my little piece of the web, I hope you have enjoyed the trials and tribulations of a gay man coming out in America. 

Sometimes I flip through some of my older posts and the emotions (felt at the time I wrote the entry) return in full force.  Other times I say to myself:  "Why in the world would you write about that?" I was truly wearing my feelings on my shirtsleeves sometimes, and didn't always have to be so honest...

I have also connected, read, and commented on others' blogs, that have or are going through similar situations in their lives.  This place has also afforded me friendships I otherwise would never have made...  I'll never forget posting a comment on one of these friends' page, and a short time later receiving a hand made, blue and red, scarf in the mail...  Thanks MD!!

Anyway... While my posts these days are not as often or mixed up as they once were, I will continue to fill in the blanks here, as time permits. Another blogger suggested once, that most people blog as a way to vent and socialize at the same time. And that once they find that "Happy Place" they seem to disappear.  It's true in a way as I have found a "Happy Place" and I seem to have less time for posting and less things to vent about, but...  I will continue, as writing is still a very therapedic outlet for me...

Thanks again to All!

I remain: Over and most certainly "Out", here in Portsmouth, VA

I'm glad you liked your scarf. More importantly I'm glad things are better for you.

You've earned it, and inspired many of us in the process.....that's something else to be proud of too!
