Happy late Birthday, Random Thoughts

Wow, that snuck right up on me! Time flies! I was working on a series of future posts and I realized that my blog had a birthday!

When I started this blog, a little over 2 years ago (August 9, 2007), I never thought I'd make it this far!

I wondered:

Will I have enough to say?

Will anyone read?

Will I continue it?

Will I get more comfortable in my writing?

Will people be angry for what I write?

Will I be misunderstood?

My posts need titles? I hate titles!

My answer to most of those questions, was a resounding, yes. And the titles, I still struggle.

I also found a few things that I didn't expect.

New friends.

A new way to converse with an old friend.

More understanding than I ever imagined.

New insight/memories of my family. I love when my sister's tell me, "I read (something) on your blog and I had to tell you..."

A conversation starter.

Self confidence. Self assurance. Self reliance.

Empowerment.

I certainly see an improvement. I hope the next year, continues to get better. I hope to write more about Jacob as he grows and the adventure (aka - psychosis) that he brings to the game. I'm thankful to have you here with me (even those of you that only I know are here).

  1. I love reading your posts! I hope you keep up with it. You make us laugh, and cry, but it's good stuff. I love being able to see what's happening with Jake, and hearing the funny stories. I can't see you guys very often so it's nice to check out the pics too. Keep up the good work, and I look to reading more in the future : )
