Blogconscious

Last night I had a pleasant dream involving not just one, but two people with whom I am acquainted solely through their blogs. Cyber-strangers, if you must. The list of blogs to which I regularly tune in is short--fewer than 10. And of those, only two or three are penned by people I've never met but whose lives I have been cyber-following in a rather pitiable effort to connect with more People Just Like Me. (They are out there, you know, so be warned.)

So, two of these cyber-strangers saw fit to show up in my dream last night and taunt me with evidence of their far superior blogs and, let's face it, better hair.

Meanwhile, in my cloudiness, I neglected to note that this blog recently reached the impressive milestone of its 4th anniversary. When the mood strikes, I enjoy going back in time, reading about what was happening in my life at various times, how I reacted to the news, how I spent my time. This blog has become a cherished window into the past; a snapshot of the pieces of my life I've chosen to share. It has replaced my journal, in many ways. Its archives provide an enlightening glimpse of where I've been and how far I've come.
