Today I am reflecting on what has happened over the past year or so that I have been blogging.
I originally thought that it was the way to keep in touch with your family by putting updates and pictures up. I didn't think it was worth much attention or time.
So it has been a surprise to find so much more here than the obvious, namely the transformation of thought that I have gone through from speaking with people from many different cultures.
What I was going through when I started was a lot of insecurity about who I was, setting up a blog forced me to define who I was. To choose what I liked, to write out my thoughts, to see how people reacted and what they wrote about.
Now I have goals, and direction. It is worth a lot, I am grateful, for the changes, and for the friends. What a beautiful force of fate!

Thank you Pam, not quite my Blogaversary. I was just thinking about how far I've come.
Mike, your writing inspires me as well. Plus I am so glad when I come to your blog and find quotes and quips that make me laugh!! Always appreciated. ;D
Debby, thank you so much for stopping by, I need to come visit your place a bit more. ;D

it has been so wonderful getting to know you through your blog and our other communications. I started my blog to deal with the chaos in my head as I prepared for my father's death and found a network of supportive, interesting, unique individuals here. Yay!
