This is my two hundred and fifty first post. Wow! I started this on January 30th of this year. Seven and one-half months ago. I started out writing just for myself. My blog was entirely private. Then I let a few friends in. I then made it public on February 10th and started getting comments. I'm still anonymous, in that I don't use my name or others' names. But in the grand scheme of things, the readers of my blog (that would be y'all!) know me far better than many people in my life who know my name.

I've made some great friends in the blogging world. Some have mailed me inspirational books. I've met up with others. And I chat frequently by email or IM with still others. (You know who you are!). Browsing on other blogs and posting there have brought readers here to my site. And I've met some wonderful people that way.

I've received more support on this blog than I ever thought possible. Best of all, it has helped me get in touch with my feelings again. I used to write all the time when I was younger. Then I stopped and stifled all my feelings. Writing here has been a good release for me. I enjoy starting my days with coffee, writing on my blog, and checking the blogs of the others I read. When all else is going wrong, I can write here and feel supported.

A huge ((((hug)))) and thank you to everyone who reads this. I'd love to hear your comments and just to know you read this. Cheers to 250 posts under my belt and I'm looking forward to many, many more.
