amazing!

I've been cleaning and purging junk from my closet (both literally and figuratively) preparing for the new arrival, and been looking at my past through aged and "healthier" eyes, to find I am glad to still be here. On earth, that is. And I find the feelings still well up from the pains of past, especially when I find the photos, poems, letters, etc., of the time. And boy, does my old Journey album (now playing in the tape deck!) remind me of those times...
Anyway I am proclaiming my joy at the future unfolding before me- putting the past in its rightful place!
And thanks to Amy, Matt and Amanda for defining friendship and love.
As the song playing says:
...out on the border of a changing skyline,
we put hope in front of fears; we all need new Frontiers...

P.S. I still wonder what happened to everyone...
