Blogoversary!

March 9, 2009

So apparently I have been blogging for one year today. Wow.  A lot has changed in my life in that one year.  For one thing this blog went from just a random “Who Am I” blog to also an Autism Awareness blog.  Thank you so much to all of you who have been a part of this first year, especially those who reached out to me when my son first received his diagnosis.  Amazing that we can share in each others journeys though we are scattered all across the globe.  I have encountered so many interesting, supportive, and funny people!  Looking forward to what this NEXT year will bring.

I haven’t been blogging as much lately.  It’s not for a lack of things to say, but rather a lack of time to say it.  I can’t seem to create a post that takes me less than an hour to write.  I am a perfectionist like that with my writing.  I will try and do better :)  

I intended to give you some of my favorite posts from my first year of blogging, but ran out of time and I need to go to bed!  But I would love to see what posts are YOUR favorites.  Please share with us!

    Goldie, I’m glad to have been a part of your first year, not necessarily of writing, but of writing from your heart for an audience. That’s not something all of us are cut out to do. You asked for our favorites– that’s hard to say. Some posts were outright amusing, ROFL style, some caused us to share your anguish, a few sparked some heated debate (in which you always seem to remain calm and trying not to offend the other sidel– I say let ‘em duke it out in words!), but mainly we got to learn more about you, your boys, your journey, and watch as our little goldfinch left the nest to do more exploring and commenting on the world. I keep wanting to talk to you about turning you into the subject, instead of the author, through some local publications to help get the word out about your support group. I think you’d make a great profile, as you keep all of us on the edge of our computer chairs/couch awaiting the next chronicle. Write on, fellow wordsmith!

    I have several favorites, but anything that discusses your fear of monkeys makes me giggle ’till I wet myself a little.
