a speak easy

I can relate to jose rico who felt compelled to express his tribute by painting everyone's name under a big bridge – because who do you thanks? your contact list? your "core group?" EVERYONE here who participates is the answer....but there is no mass mailing list option other than a personal post....plus how do you say it ?
I am honored to have been listed as a top commentator in the latest edition of jpgmag....I did not know that anyone kept track (uh oh).....and I have tried to scribble a tribute to my friends here at jpgmag a hundred times before.... because YOU have made such a big impact on my life, but a few words can't describe my feelings..... and no one has the time to read a sniveling dissertation to the community....or to sift through my mounting list of monikered pals? (jaaaake...settle down pls).
Hard to put in words, but how nice it is to have a group of friends to wake up to every morning, and to say good night to....and to fill the gaps of free time with which otherwise I would surely be depressed.
Every comment I receive, every email, every request to be a contact, is in itself a compliment and has empowered me to recapture a feeling of self I lost along a very difficult road.
So......from the bottom of my heavy heart, thank you...

my only concern in posting this was that people I comment on would feel I comment on everyone's and that's not the case.....I know myself how it feels to see comments and I want to repay the effort and kindness....but, I only favorite or comment on those that move me....
