It's my bloggin' anniversary :)

Wow! I almost overlooked it, but today is my 1 year blogging anniversary!

I started off my blog with a bit of controversy (I was excited about being part of a cause), but over time things mellowed out around here. Of course, I still speak my mind and share my views (and am thankful to have this outlet to do so), but I think people have learned that I do it not to attack others, but merely to share what I believe in.

I'm so glad I have stuck with my blog through thick and thin. I've made several great friends in the blogging world, (regained an old friend) and learned so much from many of you.

Happy 1 year to me! :) Glad to have you as part of my bloggin' life. :)

I also figured I'd take this time to invite any lurkers to come out and say hi. I know I have a number of "regulars" who (for one reason or another) have not felt comfy commenting yet. I hope you'll give a shout out eventually. It's nice to know who's "out here" in the blogosphere with me. :)

P.S. I'm feeling much better today so we are heading out to celebrate Jody's birthday. Thanks for all the get well and happy birthday (to Jody) wishes yesterday. :) Hopefully I'm done with this bug for good now.
