200th post

It has been an interesting journey over these last 200 posts. I have paused over the last few days, weighed heavy with the things in the world that have seemed difficult for me to comprehend. The wars, the whole "power" issue. I heard it said from Bill Clinton one time that the "narcotic of choice in Washington is power". It is not limited to Washington I submit.

I have also had the tail end of a flu which has sapped me of strength and motivation and I was wanting to make this post a momentous post as though it represented a major milestone, though I circumspectly realise if it does mean anything at all, it is probably only to me.

I have been humbled, astounded, angry, sad and elated over these last two hundred posts. I am very grateful that I have been able to express myself in this forum. I have shared a great deal of myself and been criticised and praised for doing so. I have enjoyed it all. I guess I have especially been curious to see myself through the eyes of others, some who write here and others who email me directly and still others who talk with me privately. A big thank you to all of you.

Here is to another 200!

Cheers and thanks again.
