One year ago today I published my very first blog post on this site.  I have learned so much about blogging over this past year, although I still consider myself very much a blogger in training.

A very sincere THANK YOU to all those who have followed me this past year, either by blog, Facebook, or Twitter.  I appreciate your taking the time to read my blog posts, leave comments, or like a blog post.

I have been very lucky to have connected with so many creative and supportive fellow bloggers.  I have laughed, cried, been entertained, and educated by reading the words written by very gifted bloggers/writers who have made me feel welcome in the world of blogging.  Thank you!

Health problems interfered with my being as active a blogger as I would have liked to have been this past year.  There were times I thought I should just give up and delete my blogs.  I’m glad that I hung in there!  I am hoping that this will be a better year for me health wise.

I’m ready for another year with hopes for a more productive year than the year before!
