One year ago today, I jumped into this thing called blogging! I’d been part of the world of blogging for a long time through reading and commenting on other blogs. But, a year ago today I typed my first blog post and began a journey with my own little piece of this thing called internet.
I’ve learned a lot of stuff. There’s still a lot I don’t know about blogging and css and techie stuff. Yet, I have learned some things and I’ve enjoyed the “aha” moments when I’ve figured out how to do something else. I have enjoyed the challenge-for the most part! I’ve had fun. I’ve had times when I wondered why I started. I’ve had times that I wonder why I bother. I’ve had times that I’ve looked back through my blog and been happy to have diary of sorts. I’ve had times when I felt like blogging was a waste of time, because it takes time and it is a lot of work. Something else I understand and appreciate much more now. There are many people putting a lot of time, effort, and hard work into blogging. There are so many great blogs out there. And never enough time! 🙂
It’s cliché to talk about how quickly time passes, but it does. This blogging year has swept by. When I told my husband that it had been almost a year since my blog began, he replied, “Has it really?”
As I looked back through some of my first posts and looked at pictures of my kids, I can see that a year has changed them too. I’m always surprised to see how much older they look every fall when I take back to school pictures and compare them with the year before.
One year down. One year past. So here we go. On to another blogging year. I wonder what else I will have learned by then?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I can’t believe it’s been a year already! I’ve learned so much since you started blogging! You started me on the road to the wordpress era. You helped me out by answering a lot of questions when I was struggling with the learning curve of going from blogger to wordpress. And it was all of that, that has started me on my way to running a successful, profitable business! Thank you so much for starting a blog!

Happy bloggy birthday. I should look back and see when I started, although much to my regret and dismay I had another blog but got frustrated and “in a mood” one day and deleted the whole thing. I didn’t regret it at the time but then when I realized I had lost all those posts about my children (since I don’t journal or scrapbook) I was sad. It IS fun to look back and see how much they have changed.
