Happy happy birthday Bloggie dear!!!

Guess what all! Yesterday was officially one year that I have been blogging!! I love it. I love being able to share my life with my friends and record some of my history in a different way. Most anyone that knows me knows that I keep a journal. I have since my mom bough me one in second grade, (I think). I believe I have about 25 that are finished , one in the works and a couple that are for miscellaneous stuff. That makes ALMOST 30 journals over my lifetime. I love being able to look back and see the things that were going on and the way I was reacting. I love reading them with old friends and family and laugh about how silly we were. It is just something I love. And I will never stop writing in a journal. Nothing can compare to the sensation of gliding along a nice clean page with your favorite pen filling the lines with the essence of who you are. HOWEVER, I love blogging because I can add so much of the other things I love to my memory keeping. I can post pictures, and music and videos. These things are also priceless and go hand in hand with keeping a record of life. I wish you could do in a journal what you do on a computer, but until that day comes I will also not stop blogging. I want to say thank you to all the people who support me and read my silly, no real point to it, blog. I know it is not the most interesting thing. My life can get... regular. But is a regular that I love and love to share with the people I love. (I guess if there are any of you out there that I don't know who read this blog you should know that I appreciate you too. Just don't do anything crazy. K. Thanks.) I love words, life, reading, photographs, music, friends, family, creating, laughing, being uplifted and being appreciated. Blogging is all of those things wrapped up in one and I am so glad to be a part of it. So happy birthday blog. And thanks again too all of you for your support.
