My 100th Post

Wow, it’s hard to believe this is my 100th post.  Although I suppose it has taken me longer than most to reach this point due to my latest slowdown in writing, but it is still an accomplishment!  Having this blog has really been such a release for me these past 10 months. 

There’s just something about having a place that is 100% your own where you are the one who determines what is said and what is not…

So as I type this, I wonder…is having a blog a selfish indulgence because when I post it’s all about me, me me…and what I think and how I feel?   But then I realize that no, blogging is not the ultimate selfishness, it is the ultimate openness! 

This blog is more than just about me, it is a small piece of a much larger community of openness and sharing!  What I have gained from starting this blog is not just because I have a place to vent, it is from all of you!  What we have here is a mutual sharing of experiences so we can all learn from each other and support each other through what is an extremely difficult situation. 

What we share is not always pretty or perfect and that is what makes it so special.  In this community we do not have to be afraid to share the deep and dark because it may be those very feelings that help someone else not feel so alone. 

So in this 100th post I just want to thank all of you.  Not just those who comment here on my blog, but to all of you who write and share your lives withthis community either as commentors, bloggers or both!  Your openness and honesty have inspired me to become not just a different person, but a better person!  

Thanks!!!!!
