1000th Post--A Poem


My one thousanth post that's what this is,
evidence of over 2 years of life for all to see.
Laughing and crying, some ranting too,
sharing PMS, kid stuff, good mail, friends, books,
family, photos, food, work, SPTs, cleaning,
church, creativity, game nights, Paris and pains.

Lots of good, with bits of bad,
totally real, honest and true.
I've met lots of friends and learned from you,
been inspired and touched and very amused.

I cannot remember life before
these daily posts, photos and comments.
Life is much better because of all this.
I can reach out to others and be my best self,
figure things out and try to help.

This big number is happy for me,
it means dedication, history and growth,
courage, reciprocity and life...woohoo.

Congratulations...1000...that's incredible. That's a lot of words strung together and I'm very proud of you.

Your titles are so creative. Just reading through them reminded me of that all over again. They're works of art all on their own.

Thanks for the links. That was fun to so easily find posts that I remember loving.
