First suggested by Shaker themiddlevoice in April 2010: What moment has changed your life—either good or bad?
I can pinpoint two moments that fundamentally changed my life for the better: 1. Thirteen years ago on March 15, 2001, I sent a private message to a random stranger in Scotland about an Oscar Wilde quote in his profile. 2. On October 5, 2004, at 12:54 PM, I posted the very first post at this blog.
There are moments that ostensibly changed my life for the worse, several of them well-known to readers in this space, but I don't feel inclined to talk about them at the moment—in part because I'm not actually certain they changed my life for the worse. I'm still working that out.
Make lemonade, and all that.
