I can hardly believe it! My first blog post went live one year ago today, October 4, 2011. It was short and sweet. You can read it here:
And Crazy Starts with Me!
When I started blogging, I wasn't sure how long it would last, what I was doing, or even why I was doing it. It just sounded like fun. Once I got started, I discovered the best part of blogging: YOU! All of my readers make this so much fun for me with your comments and remarks. I appreciate each and every one of you.
Some of you have been with me from the very beginning, and I appreciate you more than words can say. All of your encouragement has kept me going.
For those of you who haven't been around since the very beginning, I thought I'd share some of my favorite posts to help you get to know me better. I have a lot of favorites, but these all involve my family. To get to know me better, you have to know my family because my family is everything to me.
I don't expect you to read them all. I mean you certainly may if you wish. But I'd be happy if you'd just click on a couple interesting titles. I had a great time re-reading all of these.
