A Year In The Life Of A Poet~reflecting on one full year at USM~Anabel

Well, finally the post is mine. On April 28th, I had officially been part of the USM community for one year. If I was to sum up one year here, I would be almost unable, since so much has changed in my life. I do know, that I want to thank USM for the forum for expression that it is, and most of all, for being a catalyst for change which has brought so much positivity into my life through the sharing of and with the wonderful people here. Gail said today on another post that, "USM is real...the people are REAL...USM IS REAL life to me...there are people sitting on their computers that are real, and I feel them like they are sitting right here with me in my living room." I couldn't agree more...and to look at another aspect of the word "real", I would like to say that I have met so many wonderful, real people here that I consider myself blessed.

USM has grown, and so have I.....When I went through my split with my ex, people here helped me...people here helped me to realize what I was feeling...and how "real" those feelings were....When I was in my accident, the people here cared about me, called me...sent me wishes...I felt them, and they were "real"...my writing has become a major part of my life once again because I have had "real" encouragement, and "real" inspiration from those here to bleed it out in my poetry...and most recently, I have found "real" love, with a "real" person, whom I have a great deal of "real" life to look forward to for many, many, many days....

I would like to take the time out to thank some of the "real" people that I have been blessed to meet here...know that you have changed my life for the better...you have made a difference...and I will always always rember and carry it with me:

Jezebel: Thank you for being my rokkin sister...you are truly one of the best frineds that I have ever met. I admire you...your humor and wit...your candor...your softness. You are one of a kind and your frinedship means so much to me.

Hack: What can I say? Sometimes I feel like we are "poets at arms" together. I recognize the paralells and I have felt your kindness when I needed a shoulder and when I needed a friend and needed a laugh....I hope to laugh with you for many days to come...and see the joy for you when the mountains, finally don't win...

Astral Pixilator: You are so very special to me. No matter where I go...or what condition I am in when I get there, I will think about you. Thank you for being alive my friend, and being yourself with me. By doing that, you have propped me up a hundered times, you just don't recognize it...someday I hope you know in your heart that being you, is ALL that you need..you have so much to give.

Kronk: Lordy!! You are the greatest...you keep me writing, you know...from opposite sides of this country, I sure feel like you are close enough to reach out too. I admire you immensely...you are like the father that I never ever had...thank you for all the smiles, my friend:)

Minnow: Thanks for sharing this place with me! I love having someone here that I have grown up with...and sharing talents that I don't think either of us really realized the other had. You know all of the laughs and losses we have shared...I am glad for every single minute of them.

Dreamerpoet: Thank you for sharing your experiences with me, I found so much inspiration in them...to know that I am walking in the shoes that you did just a few footsteps behind...thank you for sometimes being the only encouraging voice that I heard...I am glad I have made a new friend.

Mr. DJ: Thanks for all the laughs...and for juming out of the cake at Ladyluck's Birthday party. I was needing a thrill and you obliged. LMAO...kidding...really, you are the sweetest and such a giver. Big hugs for you and thank you for the pretty ponies...:)

Bcar: My goodness! What would I ever do with your razor sharp humor? Your sagely advice? The multitude of informative posts over the 12 months I have been here...lol!!! Seriously, you are a great, great friend to have...and your prowess as bus driver, I'm sure, could be matched by no other!!! Thank you for being my friend...

King Caspian: You are one heck of a guy, you know that? An inspiration...and I love your comments to my poetry. You are the perfect combination of depth and hilarity. You are the best sport on USM...and one inspiring guy...:)

Silver Tipped Iris and Oddsmell: Thanks for the laughs...I love havin' some straight up girlfriends that can be as risque' as I can...let me know when you want me to rap or mambo any jingles for your future endeavors...I will be more than happy to oblige:)

Donno...the man of mystery...I want to thank you for your fiction...you make the ladies melty...USM needs you!!! And I am a fan, of course. Your introspection and thoughts on life are so refreshing...your encouragement with my poetry has been phenomenal..sometime I feel like you are waving a flag with my name on it...can I thank you enough for that?

Thunderhead: Thank you for being the first person to speak with me at this wonderful place...It insured that I had a positive experience and outlook...and you encouraged me to share and were sometimes the only one who responded, bringing Agent Smith with you so I felt more welcome. Thank you for opening the gateway....Blessings to you:)

Stile: God you are a great friend!!! Thank you for being so candid and honest with me and with everyone else. I enjoy all conversations with you immensely..and hey, I am sorry if I got your tea posts censored back in the day...lol...I try to be a good girl now.

Patrick/GreenDream: And I save the best for last baby....I love you, I have said it all before but, thank you for finding me, and for finding me the way that you did. You have made me feel like I am the most special girl in the world...and have made me feel appreciated, which is something that everyone should feel but I have gone without for so very long. I plan on telling you that I love you every day...and I know I will always have those "first meeting" rushes...every time that I come into contact with you. You make me soar...who do I have to thank for making you for me? I don't know who it is either, but I will do it every night before I go to sleep...:):)

And thank you to all the other wonderful people I have met....ReleaseMe- love ya girlfirend!, Love One Another- everything will work out dear, I'm here for ya, Becky Dew and Moonie...you guys are a blast!, Private Lady...I am glad I get to be your cheerleader *backflips*, Sexxxy Penguin....what can I say? Thanks for the poetry..and the music (sunny day rules!:>, Kathy A...thanks for the bonding and the chuckles..if you ever need a fast track to the nunnery, give me a call, I think I can pull a few strings....Toodles, thank you for giving me a crown...:)..Lady luck and Gail...thank you for your humor your welcoming ways and for your tremendous kindness, which I feel is the most coveted virtue of all...:)

To all the BRILLIANT and talented USM poets, thanks for letting me share the board with you, and for making me awed, humbled and inspired...keep creating, sometimes the beauty of words is the most phenomenal power of all!

To all the new friends to be made, and the ones that are gone...you all have a home here and that means, you've got one inside of me too!

Thank you USM...for being here...here is to another year *raises glass* Anabel
