I just realized that today is my 1st blogoversary!
In my very first post, which took me about an hour to write because I was so nervous, I wrote, "If you had asked me just last week if I would ever have a blog, I would have laughed until I peed." Geez, I spent an hour agonizing over that post and that's my opening line!
But that was certainly the truth. I had always thought that blogs were for people who took themselves and their opinions way too seriously and it seemed like work. And I hate work. What I found, however, was community.....a community that has become a real, not just a virtual, part of my life and ministry.
So, thank you friends for all the ways in which you have enriched my life this past year. I want to especially thank you all for the support you gave to me last May when I was dealing with the child care worker situation. Your kind words and prayers meant so much.
So, I guess I'll keep with it for another year.

Happy Blogoversary!
Yay! I'm glad you got over it and started blogging.
It took me a month longer than you to get over it.
And yes... we have found a wonderful community.
Alleluia!
Happy anniversary. Looking forward to another year.
Congrats!

Your blog is a must-visit for me, every day. Thank you for writing.

Happy Anniversary Iris!!
Happy Blogoversary, Iris! I had those same nerves that you did when I started. I'm glad that you got over it.
And amen to the community part.
Well, hurray!
Don't stop! :)

yahoo! grab a latte sister blogger and celebrate the virtual life... which actually is life. we've been called to this (at times) very isolating profession so the blogging really truly is (mostly) a ray of hope. keep writing nothing. i'll do the same & then we'll promise to read each others right?
I say Happy Blogoversary to you a little late, but still with the same heart!
I'm just catching up on blog reading, so HAPPY BELATED BLOGAVERSARY. And what you said is just how I felt too. People who babbled about their cats....who'd wanna read that?
LOL!
aHappy Blogoversary! I'm glad it's working for you (and so many of my blog friends) ...as I continue to read, even if I have given up writing for now. Blessings. Serena
congrats! I enjoy your blog. I'm glad you've stuck with it a year!
Happy Belated Blogoversary!
I am grateful that your voice is here, that you are here. I look forward to when we might be "here" in the same place at the same time--no longer virtual but physical. I say physical because this community we have formed is real.
It has been wonderful getting to know you through your blog! Even if sometimes it's a little creepy because it reads like I could have written it!
Love ya!
