Because things always seem to happen at the same time, a few milestones occurred this week. Most on the same day.
– My great niece Natalie hit her First Birthday! She is healthy, and happy, and very tall for her age. I couldn’t be happier, and she’s not even mine.
– Of course, Natalie’s birthday is my birthday, so I hit the 51 year mark on Tuesday too. Fifty one doesn’t feel any different from fifty, although I am cursing the diabetes a little more than usual these days. Goes with the territory, I guess.
– And of course, if it’s Natalie’s birthday and my birthday, it must be the anniversary of the beginning of Happy-Medium.net. One year ago Tuesday I started writing in this space.
– I also posted for the 200th time here this week… on Monday, I think. Actually, it was probably more than 200 times, when you count all the junk I threw out at the beginning. I know I sound like a broken record (does anyone know what that means anymore?), but I am sooooo grateful that there are people who read this blog and comment on posts here. I love to write, and this is a much-needed outlet for my thoughts and observances. But knowing you are there and reading this warms my heart and make me want to write great stuff every day. I learn from you and hope to continue to learn from you for the foreseeable future.
Thank you so much. I am one lucky sonofagun. I’ll try to make the next year better than the first.
