Newbies! Introduce yourself here!

I hope my introduction post finds all of you well and blessed this Thanksgiving week.

It's been more than two years since I've been online or posted a word anywhere. I'm here for just a while, so I hope that anything I bring to BFP will be of some value to someone, somehow and worth your read—even if I post just a few words here and there, now and then.

I think it's important to say what you mean and mean what you say in ways that draw a vivid picture, bring a smile, lend empathy, evoke warmth, touch, assure, inform, entertain, educate, enlighten, intrigue and add beauty somehow. That said, I haven't returned to "find" community or to "take" from it. I'm here to lend or give something to this community—online and off— and by using space and words more creatively and in ways that may benefit another person.

Offline, I'm an FtM who lives single as a straight man on a very private journey and, as I said, I'm here for just awhile. So I'll try to make the most of being a BFP member with forethought in my posts and most importantly, with consideration for anyone who may read them. I hope you'll find my contributions of value—even in the slightest way.

Whatever you do in this life, make the most of every second. It's plausible to turn an online forum into a richer, more creative experience—by giving.

Have a wonderful week and a blessed and safe Thanksgiving and Hanukkah. There's much to give and much to be thankful for.
