| The quote that started the blog..... |
When the blog began, I figured that I'd post once a week or so.... now, three years later? Well, if I posted once a week for 2 full years, that would be 104 posts. Considering we're at 600? Guess this blogging thing has worked out, at least for the most part!
A few reflections on the blog....
1. I started this blog as a part of a recovery project. While recovery is still a daily challenge, this blog has seen me through the lowest of lows, and I hope, will see me through the consistency of recovered.
2. My favorite part of the blog is the fact that with each post, there is a chance that someone will read my words, and they will be exactly what that person needs to read at that moment. The words will be the glimmer of hope, the sign, the realization that they're not alone, the affirmation that they're on the right path...... The words will brighten someone else's day, or comfort the tears that have fallen. In essence, since I have read a handful of incredible blogs, that were such support during my roughest times, I hope that maybe my words can be there to help someone else.
3. The hardest part of blogging has been making myself write when I don't want to. It's been letting my words hit the screen even when they don't want to leave my brain. It's a challenge, for sure, that I succumbed to this past summer for two months, but it's a challenge that is worth tackling on a regular basis.
To all who are reading this now.... thank you for sharing even a few moments of your day with me! I hope you find something here that makes you smile!
Isn't it amazing how quickly time flies away from us! Congrats on the 600th post!
