Ta da.....drum roll please. This is my 200th post, 200th?? How could I have posted so many photos, wrote so many words, visited and made "blog" friends with so many since May 10, 2011? I never paid much attention to the number of blog posts I had posted until I began seeing others commenting on their own milestones. The 100th blog post would probably have been more appropriate, however since I let that one fly by without even a notice, I decided that 200 would be my first milestone blog post. What I really wanted to do was to be able to blog my 200th on the 10th of January since I began this journey on the 10th of May, but as I got closer and closer to the magic 200, I realized I would have had to write 6 posts in 3 days in order to get them all posted by the 10th. I thought that might be a little excessive and a whole lotta work just to make the 200th on the 10th. So, here I am on the 12th instead of the 10th, celebrating (what celebrating, I just had a bowl of bean soup?? a celebration should call for more than just bean soup, maybe a glass of wine later since it is only 4:15, hmmm 4:15, that means it is 5:15 PM on the East Coast, ok a glass of wine now) my 200th and thinking about what this blogging has meant to me. I don't know who came up with this whole idea of blogging, but whoever it was I would like to reach out and give you a great big hug, or handshake if you prefer. It has been a means of expressing feelings and emotions both happy as well as sad, displaying my photography, voicing my opinions and bringing some joy to my readers. I never really expected to have readers/followers, but it's an added bonus to this whole blogging experience. Meeting new "blogging" friends, finding inspiration and encouragement from you, and to those that follow this blog, both friends and family I am most grateful. Blogging my friends, is a blessing.
This really isn't my glass of wine, it is the pic of the toast at my son's wedding in December. I offer a toast to "blogging"......long shall it live. Here here!!!
