HAPPY BLOGVERSARY SHOWERS AND SUNFLOWERS!

It was 6 years ago today that I finished up a week's worth of learning about Blogger and how to go about setting up a blog. And on that day, after finally getting my blog to the point that I liked, I typed out My Very First Post, short as it was, took a deep breath, and hit "Publish". My longest reader, and one of the main reasons I started this, Sista Janna is even in the comments.

Over the past 6 years I've blogged about family, friends, my job, My Hubby, and all things in between. I've talked about aging, Icky Body Parts, and how Menopause has taken away left only a little of my mind and at the same time added unwanted things physically. LOL

In that space of time I've laughed at myself (many times) and I've shared problems and asked for prayers. I've shared pictures and feelings, and some jokes. I've lamented about my visits to see Dr. I.L. Drillya who loves doing things to me with his big drill. In that first year I learned about HTML coding and how to change the look and feel of my blog with some help from online friends along the way.

And I've made many friends.

Six years ago today I had no idea that I'd still be enjoying blogging, though I don't post as often as I once used to. I've become much busier online since then, moderating on a few forums and running a photography contest blog. But blogging is still where it's at dude!!

In the space of these past 6 years I've seen many blogger buddies change to BlehSpace MySpace, then FaceCrap Facebook, and I signed up there just to keep in touch with a few of them. (MySpace got deleted years ago but I'm still on Facebook, although most of the time I forget to go there.) I've seen some of those friends come back to blogging, which is great!

It's been quite the ride ~ fun, interesting, and informative. And I can't see it ending anytime soon!

There are still a couple of my friends on my bloglinks who were there from the start, and several that have been there for about 5 years. Others are newer links, but "new" is maybe a few years. It's almost like a little blog family. Some have come and gone over the years but most of us keep in touch.

There are quite a few regular readers here, although not many who leave comments. To a blogger, comments are the best part. Still, it's nice to know that I'm not typing out posts to cyber space just to put blisters on my fingers. Thank you to my readers, you're much appreciated. One of my most dedicated readers was my older sister Linda who commented on every post I made. But sadly the company she works for has put up blocks and she doesn't have access to comment anymore. Damn company! Quit the job Sis! Muahaha!

Blogging opened a whole new world to me 6 years ago, and for that I am eternally grateful. For the friends mostly, and for the fun.

So how about I be a selfish bitch chick and ask for a Blogversary present? If you are reading this, please leave me a comment. That would be SO GROOVY!!

Thank you to all of you who come here and share in my life a little bit. I'm so glad you do. :-)

PEACE!!!
