A blog of no uncertain musings. What goes on in my mind is often a source of wonder to me.

My mind and my life are wonderous things ... as are yours, I'm sure. I have more slips of paper and pages of notebooks with musings and thoughts than I really know what to do with. Someone, actually several someones, have suggested I start a blog ... or a journal as a means of focusing some of this mental energy.

To be honest, I don't even know what the difference between a 'journal' and 'blog' is--or if there even is a difference. Read on, my friends, and you can judge for yourself whether it even matters.

And so....

Me on top of Mount Desert Island, Acadia National Park, off the coast of Maine


I'm JACE. Yep ... that's me! And somewhere in all my writings my last name may be posted. But I'll just leave it at Jace for right now. I'm 70 years old and heading full tilt to 71. It's strange that while I'm going through some rather serious medical issues, I still consider myself to be in the prime of my life--pretty good shape physically AND mentally, though I don't run for competition anymore *Smile*. I love to ... dang, if I put this stuff here, I won't have anything for my blog.

Guess you just have to be patient until such stuff leaks out. *Smirk* Perhaps 2025, having embraced my retirement, will see more participation in my journaling efforts.

Well, one can hope....

The prompt for Day 2 in "Earn the Badge - CLOSEDOpen in new Window. is
Which of your WDC friends deserves some recognition? How have they supported you over your time here?


C'mon now, ask an easy question. Two caveats come to mind.

First, when you've been a member as long as I have--and I suspect also for those members with at least ten years-- there's no way to pin down 30 or 50-plus persons who have supported me over my 17-plus years on WDC. My biggest worry is overlooking a key someone with such a list.

Second, the support I received early on in my first four or five years is not the same as over the past four or five years. Does this mean I should have two lists? My mind could get way out of hand with this prompt. Obviously, there's one solution (and I will limit the lists to ten folks):

The early years:
Jeff Author Icon, Shannon Author Icon, Brooke Author Icon, NickiD89 Author Icon, Mara ♣ McBain Author Icon, Purple Celebrating 25! Author Icon, SHERRI GIBSON Author Icon, Adriana Noir Author Icon, Stephanie Grace Author Icon, The StoryMistress Author Icon

The middle years:
JoDe Author Icon, Elle Author Icon, ~ Santa Sisco ~ Author Icon, THANKFUL SONALI Party Hopping! Author Icon, iKïyå§ama Author Icon, Joy Author Icon, Sophy Author Icon, Legerdemain Author Icon, , The StoryMaster Author Icon

The latter years:
Ẃeβ࿚ẂỉԎḈĥ Author Icon, StephBee Author Icon, Choconut Author Icon, Sum1 Author Icon, 🌖 HuntersMoon Author Icon, Nixie 🦊 Author Icon, Annette Author Icon, Gaby Author Icon, GabriellaR45 Author Icon, Riot Author Icon

My abject apologies for those I failed to mention.

And there will be overlap! No one, and I mean NO ONE, remains a member without the support of the community.
