2 more days

In 2 days it will be 1 year that I have been blogging. I too have hit the 200 mark. You would think a person would run out of things to blog about! The greatest thing about blogging is you can have something to say or nothing! It's all about that moment and what you want to type in...right then.

I've told you about my kids, the kids I watch, dash, me, my family and kept you informed on friends and family that have not been well. I have told you about trips we've taken and our love of camping. I have always said I was an open book! But now that I am putting this stuff out on the internet, I guess that's more true then ever before!

I think in the past year the thing I am most grateful for with the blogging is not the "journal" aspect... I did that before (big surprise--huh!) It's the deeper friendships that have been cultivated through the opportunity to be more open and really reveal more of myself. In doing so, not only has my friendships with fellow bloggers grown, but I have learned to cultivate better friendships with people outside blogland. It use to be very difficult for me to have more then one or two friends. Mainly because I went so deep with the friendship that I didn't know how to have a friendship that talked about the lighter stuff, the everyday stuff, the news, the weather, whatever.

I have said it before, but I really am still learning and growing a lot in my life. It seems just when I get to a point that I think I'm catching on, I find another area to grow through! I am glad that I can continue to learn and accept that I am a work in progress. I am a lot easier on myself and a lot less critical of things I screw up. Not having to have all the answers is a relief. Knowing I'm not the only one without answers is also a relief! Anyway, I know it's not the official 1yr yet...but 2 more days and it will be!

Jadee,I was thinking about the camping thing too, in 2 days.

I am glad that you decided to start blogging. Keep it up and I will too.

I am just amazed at how many have kept this up this long.

If I tried to just post in the moment all I'd talk about would be school, traffic, and how hard it is to think straight at three in the morning. I am sure I talk about other things too, right?

After we all got hooked on blogspot...I now have cousins and other college friends that blog on Yahoo Personal pages or MySpace....so talk about blogging catching on...it's really cool to be able to stay in touch with friends over the distance! Especially, when you consider the distance of Roaming and Dar!!!
