Happy Blogiversary to Me


It's My First Blogiversary!

How nice you stopped by to join me in celebrating my first 
BLOGIVERSARY. It’s been 
tremendous fun, and I’ve enjoyed meeting so many wonderful, interesting bloggers and 
readers that became friends in the process. I especially want to thank those bloggers 
who dropped by to say hello in my early days, followed along and encouraged me. 
These were my first posts:

Luke 8:36

And those who had seen it told how (s)he who had been possessed with demons was healed.

Solitude

"Being alone and liking it is, for a woman, an act of treachery, an infidelity far more threatening 
than adultery." Molly Haskell

  2. No, mine wasn't very well thought out either when I started it. Next month will be three years for me. I bet you never thought you'd last more than a couple of months. It just goes to show you. And you know what, you'll blink twice and it'll be your second anniversary and you'll wonder where all the time went.

  5. Happy anniversary, Kass. Sometimes it's best to get by with a quote, if it sums up what you like to say. I like the way you apply the Luke quote to what I assume is is a personal situation.

  6. STANDING - Oh yes, she says enthusiastically. I'm more than happy for the acquaintance!

  7. JIM - I could be wrong, but I think I'm smarter for having read your blog.

  8. PARSNIP - Thanks so much. I enjoy your spunk.

  9. OUTonTHEprairie - It's true, I have grown and have this weird medium to thank for it (along with a lot of wonderful people).

  10. KIRK - Yes, quotes are great, especially when you start out blogging with a distinct loss of words. You're right, the personal situation fit the quote, especially the possession part. It rhythms with obsession, doesn't it?

  20. HELEN, JUNE and GABI - Oops, it's me, not Blogger. Apparently, you clicked on the comment button from the year-old post and left your comments there. It's amazing how those linky things work.

  28. Happy blog birthday, Kass. I had checked my early postings today, discovering that I am almost at 2 years. To keep showing up, to learn from the examples of good work we find, to know beyond doubt that we can grow and get better at what we are trying to do...I am happy to have met you here, happy for your milestone and all the good wishes you've received.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Congrats, Kass. Best wishes for many more years successfully spent entertaining the rest of us.

  30. Happy blogiversary to you, Kass!

    I seem to have missed a lot of blogging lately - apologies. Always playing catchup. My marriage is being an attention seeker, or maybe it's my husband...anyhow...if it were a dog I'm sure we'd have taken it to the vet's for that injection of final sleep by now.

  31. Hi Kass! Happy Blogiversary! For some reason I thought you'd been blogging longer. I like your blog's new look, too. I'm glad to have met you this year! You are such an inspiring, supportive, and kind person, and I love your thought-provoking posts. I liked the solitude quote, too.

  32. I'm late to the party and can share with you my own blog was not started with well thought out intentions... but look how we've evolved. Happy Blogiversary... so glad to have your poetic voice as part of my own blogging experience... heres to many more years to come...

  33. MARYLINN - Time goes fast when you're connecting with stimulating, like-minded people. Thanks for those kind words.

    ReplyDelete
  34. JAN - Glad you've been entertained. Because you're not with blogspot and I can't get automated updates on when you've posted, I sometimes forget to check your blog, but when I do, I'm never disappointed.

    ReplyDelete
  35. RACHEL - That's a pretty gutsy, revealing analogy you've shared about your marriage. Dare you blog about it? Or is it not the stuff you'd like to widely splatter about the net like I do?

    ReplyDelete
  36. ALANNA - I'm glad to have met you too. Sorry again about Lebron.

    VICKY - Yes, it is an evolution and a wonderful sharing arena.

    ReplyDelete
  37. My favorite thing about your blog is that you respond to your commenters. No other bloger I read does that. Yours is a nice two-way street.

    ReplyDelete
  38. A whole year already? Yay! Love the picture you chose to commemorate the occasion!

    ReplyDelete
  39. MARCIA - Boy, I'd better respond to that comment now. I have learned a lot from the other blogs I frequent. One of my favorite blogs is Sixth in Line (she was the sixth in her family). You can see it on my sidebar. The commenters there really get a discussion going with her (Elisabeth).

    JENNIFER - Glad you like the change.

  40. Oh Kass, I'm being cagey about revealing anything on my blog which might upset my kids one day so everything is coded with me - not so hard to "get" as such, it's there, but it could be anything if you read it another way.

    How are you, anyway?

    ReplyDelete
  41. I've come late to the party but it's still a great one ... what a gift you have given us in the words you've shared.

    {you and your mom have been on my mind}

  42. Happy Blogiversary! Sorry I'm so late to the party. *hugs* Hope all is well!

  44. SUSAN - Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you're feeling better.

    KRISTA - You're never late to this party. It's on-going. Thanks for coming.

    MARY ANNE - Great to see you here. I keep trying to look at your latest post, but it looks like it's been removed. Hope to see it soon.
