25 years on Open Diary
25years on Open Diary…
I joined Open Diary in February of 1999… diarist #3499
“How beautiful it is to do nothing at all… then rest afterward”
My first entry:
February 20th, 1999
Forgiveness does not ask that you forget that something happened… It simply asks you to look at what happened from another perspective…I am sad for what I have lost, but I look forward to my journey…
The unknown is more than just a little bit scary… Oh, well… life…
I am now, finally, able to let go of my anger towards her… I truly hope that she is happy… I no longer bear her any malice…
I hope that readers will respond to my writings, and perhaps I will gain insight in my struggle to move on as a single man…
Thank you Diary Master for the privilege being part of this wonderful internet family…

Well imagine that! I just came back to Open Diary and you’ve written a recent entry. So nice to see you again here at our old home away from home! We’re both just a little bit older now but wiser too, right? I’m proud to say I’ve known you for many years. I hope you are well in all aspects and that you will consider writing here on Open Diary again. It would be like old times! Good to see you Jim! So very good!
@wildrose_2 Aloha for you kind words to me… Me ke aloha…!

25 years! Wow. Now I have to look back to my first entry. I don’t remember when I started but my now 30 year old son was little….
@sheetmusic Yes… some times I wonder where all of the time went… (sigh)
