You Were Wrong Judy

                  Judy was wrong. Period! In an earlier entry I spelled out a horrible, depressing phone call from my old friend “Judy”. In that conversation he said how it was a waste of time to keep my journal because nobody would ever read it.

            He has no idea the depth of friendships I have made all over the world through my writing. My diary at Open Diary I consider my private journal as it is not Google searchable.

            When the tornado hit Tuscaloosa in 2011 I wanted to share my stories from the trenches involving the clean up and aftermath with my friends and family on Facebook. That was reason behind me starting an E-Blogger account.

           The Rowing Club received a letter addressed to me care of the rowing club. I figured it was in regards to a possible boat sale to a rowing club in Georgia. I told Diane to let the current club president take care of it. Diane stopped by the house this morning to drop the letter off to me. It was of a personal nature.

           Years back I did a journal entry in regards to a favourite musical play, “Dirty Dreams of a Clean Cut Kid”. I posted that entry to my E-Blogger account which is Google searchable. If you do a Google search for that show, my Journal entry comes up in the top searches. I actually received feedback from the lyricist of the show, Henry Mach through that entry.

          The letter Diane dropped off to me was from a man in Georgia who was searching out a copy of the soundtrack of Dirty Dreams. He found my E-blogger entry and was able to trace me down to the rowing club.

           I had the best time this morning burning that soundtrack onto a CD along with a few other tracks to fill up the disc. (Old habits die hard…I can never leave blank space on a CD or tape!) I just played it through to make sure it all transferred properly. On the way to the “Y” I’ll mail this out along with a few Christmas cards.

           The internet can be a nasty, dangerous place. But, I think the positive aspects that can come from it by far outweigh the bad. It made me feel so good to know I’ve been able to help somebody I have never met. So there Judy! Go wallow in your glumness. I’ll do my best to keep being “Little Mary Sunshine” and enjoy life! I get so much happiness proving you wrong!!
