"A Year Ago Tonight" I didn't spend all that much time on the computer. I didn't really get the concept of making friends with someone I'd never met. I didn't even think that I had the type of personality that would make and KEEP the commitment to write.
"A Year Ago Tonight" I didn't have a clue on what I could write about. I'm really not all that interesting a person. I had no clue what names I could use for my family to protect our privacy. I had not the faintest idea about what my family's reaction might be to my writing about them in front of God and everybody!
"A Year Ago Tonight" I read a few random blogs. I read a few blogs of people that I actually knew. I thought some of the blogs I read were funny. Some were beautiful. Some others were sad. Still others were awful or scary! The variety and sheer numbers of bloggers amazed me.
"A Year Ago Tonight" I made up my mind to give it a try. I had no idea where this was heading, but I decided that I could try a few postings and if I didn't like it or wasn't any good at it, I could quit at anytime. Nobody need ever know if it turned out not to be my cup of tea!
"A Year Ago Tonight" I figure out how to set up a basic design for my very own blog. "A Year Ago Tonight" I hit upon a name and concept that felt just right:

THE MUSIC THAT MEANDERS THROUGH MY MIND
"A Year Ago Tonight" I wrote my very first posting for my blog, "It's Not Where You Start"! Here's a link if you want to go back to the beginning to see how this all came about: http://mellodeemusings.blogspot.com/2009/07/its-not-where-you-start.html
"A Year Ago Tonight" I didn't know a thing about blogging. Tonight, one full year, 1457 visits, and 167 postings later, I am still here and still writing and still learning more about blogging. A whole Year! Wow! But the best thing about blogging has been making new friends and they all seem to like the way I write. Go figure! I love getting and reading all your delightful comments. I just love the feedback! I am honored to be a part of the blogging community and I thank each and every one of you who have visited once or a hundred times.
Happy Anniversary to me! And Happy Reading to you. Stop by again anytime!! I'm pretty sure I'll be around for a long while!
Thanks and Hugs to you all!

Happy Anniversary to you! Blogging has really surprised me, too! I had no idea the friendships that could be made or the community that I would feel.
ReplyDeleteHi! I new to following your blog. Look forward to getting to know you. Happy Anniversary!! Now I need to go check to see when I started blogging!!
ReplyDeleteBlogging is a bit foreboding in the beginning. You feel like you're just writing into the air - I mean who could possibly care. Then you meet people! You make new friends. And, even though I don't blog nearly as often as I used to (Facebook is largely to blame), I still do periodically and I love it. Keep writing! And reading!
ReplyDeleteThat is fantastic! Happy blogiversary!
