As of today, I’ve been writing these posts for one full year. I’m not sure I thought I’d make it, or that I’d stick with it. But here I am. Go figure.

 

I like to think I’m learning to be better at this endeavor. I am aware there’s much room for improvement, and I’m okay with that. (In all of my life, there’s much room for improvement. That’s why I’m still here, and not floating a foot above the ground. “Enlightenment” eludes me. That soul-tease!)

 

Anyhoo, I’ve appreciated many resulting gifts from publishing these daily missives. I’ve re-connected with friends past. I’ve made new friends. There have been opportunities to research new-to-me ideas. There have been moments to share art, recipes and music. There has been life, lived right out in the open, for all to see.

 

And you’ve been just peachy, sticking with me through this past year. I’m blown away by your company. I’m grateful for your shoulder. I’m a better person for your generosity of spirit, your compassion, your stories, your support. You have no idea how much it means to me, knowing you’re out there, reading. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

 

Finally, one lovely benefit I’ve gained from posting daily has been discipline. No matter what my world may look like, no matter which direction I’m spinning on my life axis, I’ve made a commitment to this blog. And that’s been good for me. I guess it’s a commitment to myself. To caring for myself. And that’s not too shabby a way to live, friends.

 

I plan to keep going. Hopefully, I’ll evolve and grow. I hope the blog evolves and grows. There’s so much I want to try and do in life. There’s so much actual living I want to experience! Sharing it is just icing. And icing, friends, has always been my favorite part of the cake.

 

Butter-cream, please. The real, spanking, sweet-ass deal!
