Thank you D for this lovely graphic D is on my sidebar
Happy 3rd Birthday to J~Land
Isn't it funny how some things can change your life ~ I lay awake last night as sleep wouldn't come ~ so I put my earpiece in and was listening to music ~ and I was thinking of JLand and the friends I had made since I logged on ~ and started my journal ~
At first I was dubious as to how much of my life anyone would be interested in ~ Or indeed how much of it I was prepared to divulge ~
When I think of Jland it is not the typing as I almost hear you speaking ~ I feel I know you so well ~ we laugh together ~ encourage each other when things arn't going well ~ and most of all care for each other ~ Listen/Read each other journals and make our comments ~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is from an entry I made back in April this year ~ but it stands today and describes just how much I appreciate the friends I have made here ~ and now I can even hear the voices through YouTube wonderful thing technology ~

Hi Ally,
We met in the chatroom last night, and wasn't it a ball. If you like, you can relive the chat by going to my journal, link below. You're quite right - J-land is unique.

Happy Anniversary to us all. Meeting people from around the globe has been wonderful and enlightening...just love it...Sandi
Just think if it wasn't for journals we would probably have never met. I always look forward to reading about where you went today or yesterday. A fun thing for me is comparing words. You have been a true friend and I appreciate it. Paula
Thanks for your encouragement.

Happy 3rd! People like you make people like me keep on posting. Your entries are a joy to read and kindness comes through your writings. Love you, Ally.
Hi Ally, dawn is breaking here and as I can't sleep, wanted to read the journals in peace. I agree that j~land has brought many people together and thought, wouldn't it be lovely for lonely people who maybe housebound, and have little contact with friends or family to join this friendly group? There are so many people starved of company.
Rach.xxx
HAPPY BIRTHDAY J-LAND!!
YOUR JOURNALING FRIEND, LIZ

I was up till 6 am today before I got some sleep until 10 am and I feel rested though. I saw the doctor about my severe hip pain and he thinks it is bursitis which is a relief that it is not the hip joint. I got an X-ray yesterday. I did not think bursitis could be so painful as it can be as bad as my knees felt before needing replacement. I am doing a little better today and am using 'Biofreeze' ointment on my hip area and it is helping. I will see a physical therapist on Friday for an evaluation and treatment. This hip pain came right after my low lumbar pain which is improving. The weather today is cooler in the low 80's with lowered humidity. I will try and get a little work done outside on my addition construction working by myself. I am allowing the worker to still help do heavy lifting but I have not changed my mind about a credit card letter missing from my house that I am sure was taken. I had to call the credit card company and have my card stopped and sent them it back cut in half. Barney and Salty are the same about not letting me have his bone and will snarl and bark at me, lol ! I enjoy your journal and the communication we have. mark

I know what you mean when you say you can almost hear the voices of your friends in J Land when you read their entries. I feel I hear them, too, as I read. The community is specail and I am so thankful to be a part of it and thankful for the many friendships I have made here. How great is it that I can sit in my study or family room in Georgia, USA and make such good friends with those of you over in the British Isles as well as those from all across America? It's such a special thing words fail me at times to express my awe and appreciation. I am so glad to have met you this year, you have become a true friend and I look forward to your posts and letters. By the way, great pics of Barney!

Hello Ally .... just stopping by to say hello, and to thank you for being such a wonderful J-Land friend. I don't get to visit much these days because of the things that have been going on in my life, but I am hoping that will change soon. Take care, Tina
Yes, it is a wonderful thing to know that we are making new friends and how good it is that we can get to know one another and yet be so far away.
Arn't we lucky to be able to do our journals?
By for now,
John.
