I always thought on my 100th blog entry I would write something big, but guess what? I missed the big day and am well passed 100! However, I did go back, back to the beginning . . . to the beginning when I wrote for me and a very few . . . I remember writing my first entry wondering where it would take me . . . never thinking I would ever share my thoughts to anyone but the close few I had opened up to. And then . . . I started sharing to a bigger audience and as they say the rest is history!
Going back and reading those entries, my mind was flooded with past joys, struggles and reflections . . . As I read some . . . I could feel my heart and soul pouring out through my words, some made me smile, others brought tears and some . . . well some were just a snippet of a moment in time.
I also reread all the comments, many more once I started sharing and I felt such a greater connection to people I knew, and a new connection of sorts to people I only know through this blog world.
So I guess, by BIG entry is really as it always is, reflections, thoughts and snippets of a moment in time.

Congratulations on over 100 posts! It is amazing to go back and revisit the events and thoughts of your past. I'm thankful for this community too. Here's to many more posts to come!
ReplyDeleteHard to believe that we can write over 100 slices and don't realize it (guess I need to check to see where I'm at). Going back and reflecting on those past slices and comments, bring back so many memories and thoughts and sometimes wondering why I wrote it, what was happening in my life. Looking forward to many more of your thought-filled & thoughtful slices.
ReplyDeleteHappy 100! The going back feels amazing. With the slices we paint an interesting self-portrait. The comments add new hues. Keep writing!
ReplyDeleteHappy 100th+ post! You should eat 100 M&M's to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteWhat Donna said...woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteI didn't really know what to expect either but the discovery that we do have something to say is quite interesting, isn't it?!? Happy discovery as you continue.
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing when I hit 100. Went back and read. Hitting 100 is such a milestone. When everyone starts, they don't think they will get there. And then all of a sudden, there you are---post 100. Congrats on the milestone. Here's to the next 100.
ReplyDeleteLynn,
ReplyDeleteReflecting on your blog posts is a great idea! I think I will have to go back and do this too! It reminds me of going back into old diaries...
The gift of support, encouragement and inspiration that this writing community offers every week is incredible! I feel so fortunate to be able to learn and grow from all of the bloggers (like you)~congrats on your milestone of passing 100!
Woo-hoo! What a celebration! It's quite amazing, isn't it? Especially when you think about where you started, just sharing with a couple people and then sharing with more and more. The writing/blogging community that supports, encourages, and reminds you that you do have a voice, you have a story and it's worth sharing.
ReplyDeleteKeep on writing, sister! Happy 100 and here is to 100 and more!
Impressive! I need to set some goals!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an interesting journey! Congrats on this milestone and yes, I'd go for the 100 M&Ms to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Looking forward to more reflections, thoughts, and snippets!
