100th Post!

And now, dear readers, let us have a special round of applause for our show. "This Is Your Blogger Life!"

Whoo-Yeah!

Today’s celebration marks my 100th Post. It’s been a long and arduous journey. A couple of weeks ago, I wasn’t sure I would still be here blogging or surfing the Internet or just checking out my email. Life has settled down a bit for me from those hectic days, although I have yet to find the stability or contentment I desire. I’m still here, taking each day at a time like all the rest of the people on this world. I am the cat who has her paws clutching the clothesline with the words, "Hang in there, baby!" on the poster. I’m hanging in there.

And so is everyone else, it seems. I never imagined the amount of emotional support I would get. The words of encouragement . . . the emails . . . the tank - it has been an incredible few weeks to see so many people whom I have never personally met as they offer their kindness to me. I’ve even got misty-eyed about it (really) with your comments as I imagined blowing things up with my heavy armored fighting vehicle when it comes in the mail (I’m still waiting, Suldog, for the bang-bang toy! I can’t think of anything better to give an off-center person with an evil streak who is slightly depressed.)

Onward with the celebration! To commemorate this day, I would like to take the opportunity to not just celebrate my 100th post but everyone who has taken the time out from their busy day to visit this boring place and boost my sagging spirits with their comments. That’s right! A celebration isn’t special unless you share it with others. And I can’t think of a better way to reminisce than to remind all of my readers about their 100th post, or close to their 100th post, or 50th in case you are still new to this blogging world, or just any random post that I feel like putting on my blog.

So, without further ado, THIS IS YOUR BLOGGER LIFE, READERS! I have put everyone’s entries in alphabetical order by your blog name so as not to play favorites. In my book, all of you are my favorites. Please visit each other, share in the laughs, raise a cup of your brew, and read what makes life special: making new friendships.
