I've learned...

About a year ago, I actually started writing on my blog. Yep, you can see my first post here if you'd like!
So here we are 12 months, 177 posts and 108 109 followers later and WOW I've learned a lot!

I've learned that when one of my invisible friends hurts, I hurt. Whether it's because of a deployment, disaster, a breakup or the loss of a loved on....

I've learned that when one of my invisible friends is excited, I am excited for them too. Be it a blind date, an engagement, a new job, the list goes on....

I've learned that if something is bothering me, there's a good chance one of you has gone through it and can lend some advice...

I've learned that if I need a pick-me-up, blogger is the place to turn. One of you is bound to offer me kind words or say something to make me break into a smile....

I've learned that if I want straight-from-the-eyes-of-a-witness news, I turn to my Google Reader instead of the news, I've seen more in a weekend of blog posts about world events than I could ever hear on the news!


I've learned that even though I've never met 99% of you in real life, even though we've never exchanged a phone call or even text messages, and to be honest I probably wouldn't recognize your voice or your maybe even your face if we crossed paths.... I've learned that I care about you, and I feel like ya'll care about me too! And that's pretty cool....


Not trying to get all mushy gushy, just wanted to say thanks and I kinda like you guys!

You're such a sweetie, I love your lil trip down memory lane of the past year. I also agree completely! Blogger really is a one stop shop never too would I have expected to meet such kind people who I truly call friends like you.
