200 Posts on the Wall

I've made it to 200 posts.

I would have celebrated at 100 posts but I realized around post 120 that I should have done that.

I've been all over the place in these last 200 posts. I've shared some of my love for sports. I've shared much of my love for my children. I've shared an insight here or there. I've shared some of my attempts at writing.

Blogging has taught me as much about writing as my classes have. There is a rhythm to writing that some days is very difficult to find. One of the things all new writers are taught is to write daily, to stretch and use those writing muscles in order to learn and improve. Blogging has offered me an easy place in which to do some of this writing and yet I am not really able to even write random thoughts here daily.

I've settled into a sort of a comfortableness with blogging now. It's here when I want to express some thoughts that just don't fit in with the conversations I have with my toddlers. More, it is here when I need to think something out through writing. Best of all, it is here when I want to visit with friends. If I go too long without reading some of my favorite blogs to visit, I feel out of touch with things. This is a beautiful community.

I've not been a very good commenter lately, but check your stats, I've been visiting.

So, mostly, thank you all you wonderful bloggers out there. Thank you for being willing to share bits and pieces of yourselves and your experiences. Thank you for reading here and being supportive of my own ramblings. Thank you to my family members who read here and do not judge me harshly for sharing parts of myself this way.

Happy Blogging Everyone!
