Evening Reflection: In just a few days, it will be BSD Cafe's second birthday. Two years ago, I never anticipated what would follow. What was once a dream - this kind of community - has transformed into a reality. I set the table, but the Cafe isn't just me; it's all of you.
It's the Fediverse, it's Matrix, it's a group of people who want to communicate, who want positivity, who want to grow, who have a passion and an interest. This morning, I announced the Journal, and the enthusiasm shown was comparable. And that, for me, was a gift.

Even though it's not yet Tuesday here, it already is in many places. While I might sound repetitive, I feel compelled to dedicate this #ThankYouTuesday to you all: friends of BSD Cafe (both in and outside the cafe), of the Fediverse, of Matrix, of every communication channel.
Because FREE communication channels are tools, and they are merely extensions of people.

Wonderful people, who make the world a little less bleak.

Thank you.
