It's Been One Year

Do you notice anything different? Yes, in honor of my blog's one-year anniversary (which was yesterday), I've changed up the template a bit and gone with a fresher new color.

It's been a good year. I started out thinking this blog would just be a journal, but it has turned into more than that. I've documented memories of my childhood, my early married life, and my years as a young mother; I've remembered old friends, told stories about my children and husband, and bragged on my granddaughter. I've penned some devotional thoughts, indulged in some rants, and posted some of my photography. I may have had a purpose in mind when I began blogging, but, in the end, I think the blog took on a life of its own, and just towed me along with it.

Through this blog, I became reacquainted with old friends, and ultimately got together with a couple of them after many long years.

Thanks to each of you who has stopped by, however often, to read my ramblings. And a special thank you to each who has left a comment along the way. I love reading them, and find a lot of encouragement in the fact that you've taken a few moments to say "hi."

Here's to another year!
