Because of Blogging...

...I have become more aware of my surroundings. There have been many incidents where I think "is this blogworthy?"

...I have things recorded that I wouldn't otherwise. I am not the worlds best journal writer and there are so many things that I wouldn't have written down.

...I am not afraid to express myself. Sure, you may not agree with what I have to say, however, I no longer care.

...I have learned what an amazing network of women there are in the world. I have made friends from all sorts of places and I have even worked up enough courage to meet some of them. That is not something I would have done a year ago.

...I have become more aware when I take pictures. I have no photography aspirations, but I do think about what I am taking a picture of when I take it. I want my kids to look back at pictures and remember the magic of childhood.

...I spend way too much time on the computer.

...I have been able to share my life with family that is far away.

...I have been able to share my life with friends and family that are close in a way that I never would have before.


So thank you all for joining me on this journey. This week it is my one year bloggiversary, as well as Itybtyfrog and Netties. On my records it only shows it from April, this is actually my second blog. My first one had too much private information. I have gone through periods of prolific writing and periods of drought. Sometimes I feel clever, sometimes I feel boring. As of late I am hormonal and emotional...not exactly the best time to be writing. So it is a period of famine for now. I will be back more as soon as my sickies subside and I can pull my behind out of bed for more than a 1/2 hour block of the day.

So make my day today. Come out of the lurking closet and say hi! I want to know who all of you are! You can comment even if you aren't a blogger. Just sign in as anonymous and type in your name at the bottom of your post. I would love to hear from you all...also I am a comment junkie.
