It's My Blogoversary!!!!


Six years and 1,299 posts ago I gave birth to this adventure due to my long-time 'Net friend Hal, aka AQ, who blogs at The Way I See It and encouraged and helped me to get started in a new addiction. Like all births it's been been interesting, painful, fulfilling, and frustrating -- sometimes all at once -- and always a great learning experience. (Oh no!!! Not another learning experience!!!!)

The best gift I received was that of friendship. All y'all who read here -- regularly or otherwise -- are ever so dear to me and I appreciate that. You have educated me in oh so many ways.

A special thanks to Ronni Bennett who made me an Elderblogger early in my journey here because it really enriched my life, and through it, I had the honor privilege of meeting so many of you here or in the "real world"! You have educated me, entertained me, sometimes astounded me, and have been an invaluable source of support on the rocky path of life."Thank you" seems an inadequate response to all y'all have given me, but it fits better than anything else I can think of at the moment.

Here's one of my favorite oldies -- from my misspent youth (of course) -- that says a lot of what I feel toward y'all!!! It's a fairly new one and he has a lot less hair (and so do I!) but he sure still can sing.




What's next?  Heck if I know!!!  I'll just keep on wandering -- and writing -- as long as I can!!! 

Again, thanks!!!! Here's to another year!!!!! Consider yourselves hugged!!! AND, in the words of the late, great Cab Calloway: I love you madly!!!!!

Happy Blogging!!!!!!!!!

Kay

  8. Having barely passed the one year mark myself, I know how much effort, commitment and brain power goes into this. But, yeah, it does become kind of an addiction, doesn't it? Anyway, congrats to you ... and keep it comin'!

  13. Congratulations, I started last April after our Governor tried to fight the Unions, and I was furious. With everything going on in the world, there are times that a person just can't keep quiet.

  14. 1299 posts in six years! I'm impressed, but doubt I'll ever reach that potential. My posts for approximately 5 years more or less is less than 700! I understand and appreciate your frustrations; I'll bet I suffer much of the same questions that probably plague you. I'm always glad to see you there plugging away whether it's political or funny. Glad to count on you and know you can count on me to lend an ear.

  28. Happy celebrating your Blogoversary which should surely last longer than just one day!

    Will look forward to more of your writing -- keeping me up to date on OSU's Buckeyes and the goin's on in Ohio this election year. Wondering what, if anything, OccupyW.S. may be doing there as I'm hoping they'll continue pursuing issues and can make a difference.
