~`_ The Spirit of the Eagle speaks into the soul _'~

I started on Mindsay in June of 2005 but started blogging on July 2nd of the same year, and I cannot believe I have stayed this long. The first person to welcome me was ashenrose. I have some wonderful friends here, some of whom I have met in real life. (shout outs to callmeroger , environgirl , myclette , and torridgirl  There are others who I keep track of on here and on other social networks ( shout out to sandyquill . There are plenty of others I was glad to forget when they left out of here. *no shout outs there, but I am sure some of you can relate*. I have seen my share of heated battles here over religion, politics, racism, and inane remarks. I made friends with one of the wonderful creators of Mindsay ( shout out to aostrow  and made plenty of comments/suggestions...one of which is still a good idea yet they have not jumped on it. I cannot blame them, though, as it would be too easy for people to run to other blogging sites and leave this one alone! Mindsay has grown and shrunk and grown again. I still love my friends here, even if I don't blog here as often as I used to... Three cheers for Mindsay.
