Happy Anniversary

 

 

WOW !  Time goes by when your having fun.  I started my journal ,   A Couple of Nomads ,  on December 20, 2003, almost 5 years ago.  I never imagined that so many people who didn't know each other would care

so deeply for each other.  It seems we all have smiled with one another and sometimes cried.  In times of need we pray together as we would for a family member.  I guess that's why we feel like one big and diverse family.  Happy Anniversary to all.    Dawn

And Many More!

I'm glad to be a part of this community

I'm John.  My AOL blog is too stubborn to die.

 

I have been writing a JLand blog for less than a year now, about which I have received many thoughtful and concerned comments.  I knew two years earlier, however, that JLand was a caring community where people would take the time and go to the effort to support and encourage others who they had never actually met.  Even before I had gotten my bone marrow transplant, I was receiving a great deal of traditional mail from JLanders literally around the world wishing me well and offering thoughts and prayers that my transplant would go well.  My wife, Krissy, often told me about the outpouring of concern for both of us in the comment section of her blog, and would read aloud comments left there for me by JLanders. 

 

After my transplant, while I was an inpatient at Hershey Medical Center, Krissy would bring to my patient room each morning a stack of cards and letters from JLanders inquiring about my health and wishing both of us well.  At Hope Lodge, where Krissy lived while I was hospitalized, the staff would keep our abundance of mail at the lodge office and would jokingly ask her if we had a fan club.  The warmth and affection generously offered by JLanders played a large part in keeping my spirits lifted during the long year I spent in the hospital.  All of you have my most sincere gratitude.

 

I learned that JLanders represented the best that humanity had to offer.  Your interest in others continues today, not just for my wife and me, but also for other JLanders and people in general. 

 

Happy Fifth Anniversary, JLand!  Your mutual interest and support for each other makes JLand a uniquely welcoming place.

~ What's the Buzz ~

Five years...  congrats JLand!  I had several entries for today written in my head.  They were long and detailed.  Well, as detailed as I get.  Instead it can be summed up in a few words.  I came to JLand about 3 years ago.  It's been a roller coaster ride.  The good, the bad, and the ugly.   The big picture.. there are some great folks out there.  I've made great friends.  Had support during all the ups and downs.  When life threw me a curve last year, and with my sister's passing in November you came in droves.  You held my hand, held my head, and dried my tears.  There are no words that can say what my heart feels, but know I appreciate your friendship.  The good far outweighs the bad and I look forward to another 5 years.  

 

The entries here are a testament to a great community.  Hundreds strong, hundreds proud.  I am proud to be part of all that is good here.  Hope to see you all in chat.

 

Congrats to everyone! 

 

hugs

My Day and Thoughts

On April 15,2004 I started my blog My day and Thoughts. I honestly did not think I would stick with it. Here I am almost 4 and a half years later still writing. It has been an outlet for my happiness and sadness. Through the journals I have met strangers that have become friends. Some friends that passed in the night, some that crossed into the light, and some that I have hugged with my arms. I will always cherish every moment I have spent here, even the painful ones.
Thank you for being here for me.

THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND

     I haven't journaled for five years but I've made some lifetime friends that without them I don't know if I'd even be here.  You all know who you are.  Every day for four years I've came to J-Land and visited you as well as wrote my daily life story.  I've watched births, and deaths, through pictures and stories.  I've seen your children grow up and go to school, some graduate and others get married.  I've seem divorces and marriages and all because you write every day in that little journal and then leave it out in the open for us all to see into your heart.  It is like getting to visit everywhere each day.  Only a few of us have had the rare privilege to meet each other in person. 
I am thankful I have gotten to share all of this with you and am looking forward to many more years of life with you all. 

Congratulations, AOL for a successful outlet for people to develop friendships. 

THANK YOU FOR BEING A FRIEND!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY #5 J-LAND~

I made an anniversary in my journal From Here to There  I've been part of the J-Land family for just under 4 years.  My first entry was in response to my son John's Weekend Assignment on Sept. 16, 2004.  I fell in love with J-Land that day and have been here loving it since then.
