14 years…

…or 5,110 days

of uninterrupted

blipping

the boo insisted on - helping me to celebrate - a day i hardly could’ve - conceived of arriving at - when i first began this - journal all those years ago - back then i imagined only getting - through 50 days at most - perhaps 100 and then putting - my camera aside - but something happened not only within - myself but within this community - at large as well - those who have been - here a while will - understand of what i speak - you notice a change - within you that you’ve grown more - comfortable with your own self - for me as a christ follower - it was realizing that abba - loved me as i am - offered me grace - where i stood and - always had my back - no matter what - he continually showed me this - through the lens of - my camera and the - incredible beauty of nature - no matter where i looked - it was a constant reminder

‘the steadfast love of the lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.’ lam 3:22-23 (esv)

and then this community - over time has shown - an amazing adaptability towards - everyone who lands here - no judgement, no ridicule - just acceptance for who you are - warts and all - no questions asked - i have made long standing friendships - with people around the world - over these 14 years - most of whom i - have never laid eyes on - and it matters not - isn’t that remarkable from - a social media site - it’s because of the - values inherent here that - we all uphold and believe in - for the most part - we all play nice - in the sandbox - and isn’t that a beautiful thing - it’s well a lesson - most of society could learn from - and of course to those incredible - individuals behind the scenes - who kindly keep us running smoothly - so to them, my heartfelt gratitude - without them we wouldn’t be able - to post, share or interact - allowing us to have…

a

happy day…..
