Blogging Anniversary

by

Well, shoot!  I completely missed my official blogging anniversary on February 8.  I kept waiting to post on it and then completely missed it.  Guess how long it’s been?  SIX YEARS.  I’m no spring chicken to blogging but sometimes I feel that way.  I never really told anyone about my site, online or elsewhere for a long time.  It wasn’t until last year that I “came out” if I may.  Sure I had a few readers along the way and some like Jaynee that have been with me the whole way but I know there are so many I’ve met since then.

I can’t tell you how much blogging has meant for me.  As my mom’s coworker says, it’s my therapy.  And it is.  When I’m working from home and all I have is two people 4 feet and shorter running around and I’ve cleaned up 15 messes all within 15 minutes, changed the laundry all while on a conference call with work, sometimes I have to let it out!  Sometimes I do that by finding something funny.   Sometimes it’s something spiritual.  Sometimes it’s something from tv.  Sometimes it’s just something boring.  But all of this blog is me.  It’s barebones Amy.  Whatever you may find it…boring, funny, exciting, monotonous…well, it’s me.

I literally don’t know what I would have done if I hadn’t been able to journal about these life-changing last 6 years and I think I will be forever grateful when I look back and have so many special moments on paper.

If you happen to read this, I would love for you to comment and let me know you read here whether you’re new or not.

  2. Nice of you to drop by my blog. I agree with you about this blogging. It is like therapy. When no one else will listen to you, fellow bloggers will and even if they don’t, you were able to get your thoughts out. Come back and visit. I’ll drop in again, fellow dork.
