what was special...

about today

I thought

as I had my first cup

of that which wakes one up

I couldn't think of anyone's birthday

or anniversary

I checked the calendar and nothing was there

when I went to get the second cup of

you know!!!

the sun was just coming in the kitchen window and I saw this

and you know me by now

I take what I see

( I know.......!!!)

.......

the light playing on the fan

and the new little dish I bought and never showed you

and another sun in the morning light

and then I went outside because the

japanese maple

called to have her portrait taken as she sheds her leaves

as this year winds down

this year.....

struck a chord in the old cobwebs in the brain

a year

of what

....

then is dawned

:) :) :)

and

I remembered what has been different this year

for me anyway

I am a blogger

I have a blog

I have followers

and visitors from all over the globe

who come and read  the nonsense I write and look at the photos I post

a year ago today

I started to write and photograph

and post for the whole world to see

today is the anniversary of

roomontheleft

and I thank you all for making it such a hoot

I write about nothing and you still come to visit

and I appreciate you all

really really I do

I will probably never ever meet any of you in person

but that isn't the point

we visit

we chat

and we share

little things

and

big things

and it's fun and full of encouragement

and support

and

I like it!!!

and this is what it looks like here today

I have the oldest balloon in the world

(I don't know how old it is but it won't die (deflate) so I keep it)

and it's on the desk today

to remind me

of what a fun place

blogland is

and hopefully will continue to be

if you keep coming

and

you keep

writing your blogs too!!!

Here's to all our blogs

may they be filled with

creativity

friendship

happy posts

and

great great photos

If I drank

( and you should be happy I don't coz I'm dizzy enough sober)

I would toast you all with a glass of

champagne

and

thank you all for making it a fun year

so I raise my cup o'java

(which is now a little cold and needs refilling)

and say

Here's to us all

Have a Happy Day

in

Blogland

and

out

........

Cheers!!!!!
