five years

dear blog,
five years ago today, i wrote my first post. i mean really what is there to say to you that hasn’t already been said on you during the past five years?
i had no idea what i was doing and i had no idea that it would last this long, that you would evolve as you have, that you would lead me to create photoblogs and flickr sites and then force me to learn html and css and help me discover blogger and handcoding and typepad and movable type and wordpress. i had no idea you would open up opportunities for photoshows and publications. i had no idea that strangers would come and read my words and that some of those strangers would turn into friends and that those friendships would be so incredibly meaningful and caring.
i feel pretty grateful to have this little room of my own, this place to express myself and connect with others and so my dear little blog … i would like to wish you a happy birthday … thank you for being you!
xoxo

a super talented writer friend of mine is doing a wonderful series on women bloggers and she interviewed me for contribution among a whole lot of very cool women bloggers. i am find the interview fascinating and i am amazed at how much the blogging world has grown and continues to grow. i am glad this interview is running on your birthday, it somehow feels fitting.
