J-Land's Anniversary

  Well what can I say??!!  The day I return to the magical world of J-land and it appears we are in the midst of celebration and so many beautiful journal entries to read today - really makes me feel so happy and glad that I've returned :-)  God bless you all xx  So instead of the entry I had planned (aka the start of telling you my gossip!!) I've decided to join in with the entry for the day..............................

MY PAST YEAR IN J-LAND!!

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that nearly 2 years down the line would I still be writing this blog.  It all started when I split from my ex and moved in on my own.  I had to have the internet, I couldn't live without it (sad huh??), so I found AOL and waited patiently for my pack to arrive.  When it did I installed it with much eagerness and logged on.  Whilst browsing the home page I saw the sign for the blogs.  Had a quick look at what it was all about and decided to go for it!!  I wanted my own webpage but never knew where to start and what would I really put on it if I did manage to get myself sorted long enough to make one.  Here I have one already made, all I had to do was make it look good and it gave me a place to write my thoughts, what I got up to and later on it would give me a place to log the concerts I had been too!!

So I made my first entry!!  To be honest the first person's blog I found was Gary's :-)  At the time I had done a search for Queen and his blog came up.  I couldn't believe it, he mentioned my favourite album and possibly one of my favourite songs.  Bless him he read my journal and when I was concerned that no-one was reading it, he told me how to get out there and advertise it!!  I think Stuart was one of the first readers too, along with the lovely rachael and Claudia, Jeannette, Sara...........but so many more beautiful people came along later....Sandra, Jan, Debbie, Ainsley, Jeannette (travels), etc etc...sorry if I've missed your name my mind has gone blank lol.........

A big thank you should go to those people who make and share the graphics with us too!!  Dianna, Donna, etc etc.............xx

Since then I have gone out there and read some fantastic entries - things that will make you laugh, things that will make you cry and things that will make you go awwwww.....the people who I've met through this cyberspace world are lovely and are there when we need them.  I only hope that they can say the same about me ??!!  LOL.....

It's amazing that we're here celebrating the 3rd anniversary - but all I can say is here's to the next 3 years *cheers everyone*

Love to you all
