It's Official

Firstly today I AM 40. No big change from yesterday except that my family is making me breakfast in bed and I think I'll be getting more emails than usual. I'm down with it all...and happy just as things are (minus maybe a few pounds, wrinkles and knee pains).

What is more exciting to me is that I actually have been officially blogging for a year now. This post happens to be my 359th, so oviously, I didn't quite make 'a post a day'. I blame internet connectivity and travel mainly...not desire. Here are my 10 thoughts about my year of blogging.

1. It has become a necessary part of my day.



2. I rarely have "nothing" to talk about



3. I can make a story out of the mundane



4. I love writing



5. I have 'found my voice'



6. I sometimes filter my thoughts/words because of family reading



7. I hope to expand this 'writing thing' this year



8. Some blogs 'write themselves' when I least expect it



9. I enjoy marrying my photography with my writing



10. I am looking forward to another 350 (something) blogs.

Hey 5 readers out there (maybe a few more)....do you have any thoughts on what my next year of blogging should look like? Thanks for humoring me by participating in my year of writing. Cheers!

PS My husband is awesome...he bought me the latest and greatest Nikon camera AND a new computer AND I'm going to Austin for 4 days with 'my girls'....maybe 40 ain't so bad after all.
