One Year after Avatar

[Marvellous Chester]

Greetings Tree of Souls

Today is a very happy day for me, exactly one year since I first saw Avatar. This time a year ago I was just a few hours from sitting down to my first viewing, how blissfully unaware I was of how it would change my character forever.

I just wanted to take a moment to give thanks, as this is something of a 'birthday' for me as Avatar allowed me to be born again - my body may be 18 years old, but my soul is only 1. It's been a truly splendid year, rediscovering my appreciation and respect for the natural world, changing in a way I never thought I would and meeting the nice folks at AF and on here who helped me through the Avatar blues and let me come out the other side. I have a new sense of inner peace, I know what I want out of life, finally. My health has drastically improved since last year, eating right and exercise is something I now actually enjoy. Eywa willing I'll still be as crazy about Avatar this time next year, even though that seems really far off right now. I now eagerly look for my soulmate, not just some meaningless fling, and lord knows I'll wait as long as it takes to find her. All is well, and it feels good Thanks for Avatar, the film that made me me, thanks to the community here because you've all been a large and very helpful part of the last year.

I spent this morning taking a long quiet walk through a nearby forest, I have also just come in from planting a very special 'One Year Anniversary Avatar' tree Whilst typing this I have the Avatar soundtrack on and am thinking about the spectacular last 12 months. Finally, tonight I'll be watching the standard DVD version of Avatar to truly mark the occasion.

So here's to ToS, Avatar and great times! I wish you all good health, love and happiness
