Two Hundred

So, here I am, just minding my own business, wondering what to write about, when I notice something: this is my two-hundredth post on One Mom's Journey.

Granted, I had a blog on myspace before starting this, so I've written more than that in total, but just looking at the number really makes me think.  Have there really been two hundred important things for me to say?  Probably not, but I find myself a little bit proud, nonetheless, of the milestone.

Thank you to everyone who reads this blog: those of you who offer kind words of encouragement, as well as those of you who follow along silently. 

I am amazed at my good fortune, having found this community of other mommies online without whom I would surely be bald by now.  Ladies, you know who you are.  Thank you for celebrating with me over the little moments that no one else can understand.  Thank you for picking me up and offering a shoulder when I've needed it.  I can assure you we're nowhere near done...the only regret I have is that I didn't find y'all sooner.

And thank you to everyone who has encouraged me to keep writing, whether we're talking about my blog or any number of projects...mainly the fictional story I've recently started.  If you missed the post with the first chapter, you can find it here.  I'm not usually one to fish for compliments, and I tend to keep projects very close to me until and unless they are finished successfully.  This one, though, is very dear to my heart, and I find myself wanting to share bits and pieces of it from time to time.  I really do appreciate your positive feedback, and I am definitely forging ahead with Danville's journey.  I'm hoping to have the entire story completed within a few months, though that may not be realistic when I factor in the job search and school...so I'll just hope to have a copy in hand by this time next year.

Not to get all gushy on y'all, but through this blog and the friends I've made, I'm beginning to feel as though I've finally found my place.  For that, I have only you to thank.  And I can't think of a better reason to celebrate.
