Isn’t this grand!! Congrats Chris.

Here is an excerpt from a post I made on my 2nd blogging anniversary on July 26th:

“The greatest thing about this whole blogging business is, of course, the bloggers. The great people I have met, or not met but feel like I know, by having a glimpse into who they are by what they write about. I have formed some lasting friendships with people I probably would not have had the opportunity to meet if it weren’t for this way of introduction. Highlights include, real live blogger meet-ups, a book project organized by Jon Strande called 100 Bloggers, meeting the blog widows and widowers, Queen Street Commons, and getting in touch with my geekness.

I have learned so much in the past couple of years, about myself and about things I didn’t know I was interested in. I can thank Rob, Peter, Craig, Chris, Brian, Jeremy, Dan, Nate, Kelly, and other Chris for opening my world up more than it was before.

Here’s to wherever this leads…”

To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly. — Henri Bergson

Forgive me for being late to the party here! I’ve been too much of the road warrior lately … however you know I always read and catch up with you when I get back Chris, and you always delight me.
For the last month or so we have had such great news of blog anniversaries among us: I feel much like we’re a new generation kindergarten class, given all the fresh new colors that Crayola had been keeping for a truly special occasion – and we’re it! We’re coloring our world with broad brush strokes of beauty and goodness, and Chris, you never choose the pale colors. Keep writing, and you can be sure we will keep reading.
Witth love and aloha, Rosa

Congrats – glad to see all is well and alive in your corner of blogland! Admittedly, I wish I had the traffic & community you have on your site. I appreciate anyone who stops my blogs and your occasional posts are definitely welcome! Oh and happy NFL start-to-the-season day – even if the Patriots won. We’ll see how my Packer’s do – your Steelers look good as well!

Take care,

A lovely post, Chris. I think many of us can feel identified with your words. Blogging is amusing but it is also a responsibility if you want to do something worth reading. Anyway, it is something we should face with an spirit of joy.
