...to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free....

02 February, 2012

birthday!




It has been exactly one year since my first post ever.

It had been yet another snowy day in a snowy Maine winter.
I'd been lurking around several wonderful blogs 
for several weeks,
and that day I decided to experiment by 
seeing if I could set up one of my own.

The rest is history.

I just want to say how much I've enjoyed my first year in Blog-land.
You, dear readers, have made all the difference.
Your visits, your comments,
your support and encouragement
have made the joy come so easily.
Getting to know you, learning from your wonderful blogs,
being inspired by your words and photographs
not only got me through that snowy winter,
but changed my life and how I think about things.

Thank you all...so much!

  10. Hello!
    Like Perpetua, I went and read your first posting in February 2011. I learned so much about you and your life. I'm wondering now how your husband is doing with his health problems.

    Congratulations on a year of blogging. I started last May (2011), and like you I've discovered the great generosity of bloggers. Their postings have enriched my life as they have yours. How blessed we are.

    Peace.

    I was just reading thru some old posts of my own, and I stumbled across the one where you commented about starting a blog. I was and am thrilled that you have found a little piece of Blogland to call your own. xoxo Allison
