Please, if you're in a hurry, read this post instead.

I just noticed that today (July 16th) marks my own one-year anniversary on SC. It was really another two days before some of the bigger voices found me (Ed, TNP, etc.), but I was here and poking around.

It amused me to read some of the early comments to my blog as opposed to more recent ones. I and those I'm proud to count as friends have relaxed/grown warmer around each other, and it sometimes strikes me as silly that I know so many random details about people I've never "really" met.

But I have met you. I know you, some of you pretty darn well. A few of you routinely post things that make me nod and think, "You could have pulled that out of my head," though I'll admit that I think my mind would probably send some people into spontaneous rocking and hiding. :-D

I've cried along with some and have had the blessed occasion to rejoice with many as well. For that, I thank you. By the same token: for crying with me, for rejoicing with me, for shaking your head in amusement at silly Infernal - I thank you.

While I'm not a pillar of SC and not many would notice if I ever drifted away, I've no plans to quit blogging, and I hope that I've added something positive here for someone at one point or another.

Thanks for reading, and have a beautiful [deep blue with a metallic glint] Monday! :)

    Well, Happy One Year Anniversary on SC, Infernal. I don't know where the year went. My one year mark here was yesterday. How the time flies.


    And dear, don't sell yourself short. I think there are quite a few of us who would really notice if you drifted away.

    Happy anniversary Infernal! It amazes me how fast time goes these days! Mine is coming up as well and looking back I never thought I would spend so much time here or get to know people the way you can on SC. Here's too another great year....  Cheers! :)

    Zayda: Happy belated SC anniversary! :) Tempus fugit, but as long as the years stay as generally good as this past one was, I won't complain too much. :)

    Mirror: Cheers! I wouldn't have thought I'd find a site that actually challenged how much time I spent on the mom board! I love discovering new things about people, and SC is a great place for that.

    Hey, did my comment go? I just wanted to say happy happy anniversary.
  • the_infernal_optimist said on Jul 16, 2007....
    I saw that you looked back, destiny. :) I'm glad I blogged it, though at the time it was mostly a way to vent frustrations (well, and to share updates with those I thought might be interested).

    Nosestud, welcome to my blog, and thank you! :)

    It seems that many of us jumped on board right around this time...  My year anniversary's coming soon, too.  Happy year one!  From what I can discern by the comments of others, it appears that you are a pillar in the community. 

    Happy belated anniversary to you Alyss!  I already said my congrats to Z on another post, but congrats again! 

    My life has been enriched by my stay at SC, and I know you three have contributed much in the past year.  Thank you again.
