'You've been so kind and generous
I don't know why you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
For your selflessness--my admiration
For everything you've done
You know I'm bound--I'm bound to thank you for it.'-Natalie Merchant

This song has been floating in my head since late last night. I'm just so gratefully stunned...but one special thank you must be said before I travel down below the orange filagree: to the anonymous donor of my lifetime subscription. You wrote, 'Glad you de-lurked. Keep writing.' I feel a happy obligation to do just that since I cannot financially pay it forward. I hope someday we meet so that I can hug you and thank you personally. And at least buy you a beer!

There are so many here that are much more deserving than I for the subscription, and I hate that I can't even throw a 5-spot into the kitty for someone else to get one. But I have faith that others in this community are doing just that in my place, giving unsuspecting Kossacks the same gift I got last night. What a thrill! Thanks to all the benefactors!

My first diary (and oh, I hope it isn't my last) is staring back at me with a blue-bordered blankness, begging me to fill the boxes with clever, astute observations or fiery rants. Sorry to disappoint, blue boxes. This first post will be a simple, but most sincere act of appreciation to this amazing online community, that doesn't even know I exist. Below the pretty filagree I will elaborate. Hope you join me there.

I'm bound...

Before, I lurked. Now I speak. (Updated-w/ tears)
