Happy 1 Year Blogging Anniversary! (1st Blogaversary)


I started blogging on a Leap Year Day, February 29th 2008! It all began when Dina of Jerusalem Hills Daily Photo e-mailed to tell me I should try blogging and that she would hold my hand through it. I'd tried before but couldn't get past choosing a title for the blog. I finally decided to just settle on Musings because it was non committal and I didn't have anything against it. The idea of Dina in Jerusalem holding my hand and guiding me through the process across the Atlantic in Illinois was such a wonder! We had e-mails darting back and forth until I could stand on my own.

Now blogging has become an important part of my life! Thank you, mahalo, toda, arigato, Merci, gracias, etc. everyone for being part of my life. What a wonderful feeling to be connected to all of you! I never feel alone. I always feel like the world is at my fingertips. Isn't it all amazing?

  4. Happy Anniversary!
    I had to look back to see when I first posted. It was April 8th of last year, just before we went to the Netherlands. I do know that you were my first reader/commentor. I was so amazed that someone out there found me! My family read my early postings, but never commented. Still don't. I got more readers through you.
    Thank you for nearly a year of cyber friendship.

  8. Mazal tov to Musings as it embarks on its second year of life. I say Musings and not "you" because it's like your blog has a life of its own. It flys around the world and straight into so many followers' hearts.
    Your last paragraph here says it all. How very true.
    What a blessing to know you, K and family, and to share in your thoughts and adventures through the miracle of blogging. Thanks for this best of gifts.
    Blessings to you and your Musings for many years to come!

  17. You do it so well, I thought you had been around longer than I have. My anniversary was in January. It hasn't taken you long to accumulate a long list of followers--I think it must be you.

  18. happy b-day! it's amazing how fast a year rolls around. I appreciate you introducing me to so many new blogging friends and being one of my first new bloggers. Now I teach blogging-doesn't take long in this cyber world. At the family history conference this past weekend-they talked about facebook opportunities for us older bloggers to share our genealogy and photos...so I'm going to do that. I notice my kids check facebook more often than they do my blog. Here's to many more years of blogging!

I really LOVE hearing from you! However, if you sign in as ANONYMOUS, please don't forget to tell me who you are in the comment box by just writing your first name. We would all appreciate it if you kept your comment respectful and kind.

I’m using Comment Moderation for any post that is more than a day old because of aggravating SPAM. Therefore, if your comment does not go up on an older (more than a day old) post, it's because I need to OK it first. I'm sorry to have to do this, but again... sigh... it's the spam that's driving me crazy.
