Really? A Whole Year?

One year,

A couple of hundred posts,

and a whole bunch of great friends!

❦ ❦ ❦

Thank you all for being a part of this fun journey.

I considered doing a long retrospective post, highlighting a few of the things that stuck out in my mind over the past year. I thought about writing a short paragraph about each of you that make up the "worth checking out" list on my side bar. I thought about some of the people who were a part of this community days, weeks or even months ago and are no longer. Ya, I considered many things as I sat down to the keyboard, but when I got ready to write today, I just felt like saying thank you.

Not terribly elegant, and perhaps much too oversimplified, but those two little words carry a significant amount of feeling in them.

I've had the privilege to sit across the virtual coffee table from some mighty fine people. (That'd be all of you) We've laughed a bunch, cried at times and had some good discussions. We haven't always agreed on things, and that's ok. (Wouldn't that be boring?) Most importantly, we've become friends.

I'm looking forward to what another year behind the keyboard and screen will bring.

You gals and guys rock!
