Anniversary waltz


I always liked this picture. It certainly warms my romantic heart. I would think that they are dancing to the Anniversary Waltz.

I don’t have a dancing partner in my life right now but I do have an anniversary to celebrate. Some dear friends and readers have reminded me that it’s been one year since I started this blog.

Tempus did, indeed, fugit and I’m still having fun. I never thought that I could sustain my humble space here in the web universe alongside the many heavy hitters and blog celebrities du jour. Jenn’s loyal readers pushed and prodded and I’m kinda proud that I did risk it after all.

I've managed to reflect on Jenn's life as I write of mine. Truth be told, I'm probably the one in the painting holding an umbrella to protect the couple from the storm. Mothers do that you know. Reflect and protect.

This blog has been an exercise in self awareness and writing style. It's brought me new friends and has become a legacy to share with my family, especially the grandkids. Who woulda thunk?

Thank you to everyone who has been supportive. Hope you keep coming back, dropping in, and leaving a comment or two. Go ahead, make my day.

The dance goes on.

You are the best Mom and BAbci EVER and I am thrilled and honored to have gotten to know you and your amazing family here. Thanks for all you share with us, I am always inspired.

That line about you being the one holding the umbrella was really sweet.

Hey, even if you are stuck holding the umbrella you still have to be dancing to follow along right?

Keeping on dancing...and writing...and we'll follow along too.
