7 Years

I started this blog back in 2007. I've written many times about why I started it and why I continue-primarily because of the friendships that I've make over the years. Every friend I've made has taught me something. I think that is one of the best things about personal blogs- learning about someone's individual story. We're all the same in that we're human, we make mistakes, we learn, we love.

But YOUR story? That sweet one about how you met your husband? That one made me smile. The story about your toddler in the grocery store? I could really relate with that one. And OH.MY.GOSH. the post about your pet peeves? Spot on. Believe me when I say I cried with you when you wrote about your loss. My heart breaks with yours.

I have seven years. Many of you have lots and lots more. I guess I'm an adolescent in this blogging thing. I'm no longer looking to 'make something' out of this-that ship has sailed. My eyes are wide open and I realize that these friends of mine- You! You! and yes, you too- are the best reason for blogging ever.
