BearsMountain: One Year Ago Today

June 21, 2008

One Year Ago Today

I started BearsMountain...Here is my first Post.

What a ride it has been. I never thought people would read my blog, I started it just to journal my way through my problems.

My mind is clearer than it was then. I feel more secure with who I am. Things make sense to me in a way they didn't then.

So I'm finding my inner strength amid all the turmoil. At least I'm not wondering anymore about my sexuality, even though I am wondering about my life.

So Happy One Year to me!

Peace,

OC

Happy New Year -- look how far you have come. I went back and read all the posts I missed from the beginning.

A year passes quickly - where do you want to be in another year from now?

(sorry not trying to aid your insomnia).

peace-

Thanks Maria....

Mapi, You know I love that you read my blog. We are so much alike, for as much as we are different...thank you for being my friend.

Janet,

What can I say, you were one of my first blog friends, and I respect everything that comes out of your mouth, or should I say "keyboard". Seriously though, you never pull punches and tell me what you think and that is a quality I really love about you, that and your freaking awesome taste in music. Your taste in music has been the demise of my iTunes bill this year.

Peace,

OC

Yay! Congratulations!

Isn't writing it all out such a good thing? A wonderful way to sort thoughts and think things through. And then there is the added wonder of people reading and giving their own perspective. I find that very helpful.
