One year Anniversary

Today marks the first milestone for my humble little blog. I have been posting my ramblings and musings for a year now. Thank you so much to all of you who read and comment. I can truly say, it's been an absolute eye opener for me discovering blogland. There's so much information and support out there that I never knew existed. I have to admit that prior to reading blogs, I was of a similar, slightly dismissive mindset as my brother about the whole thing..... "Why would anyone want to read about the minutiae of strangers' everyday lives?!"
BUT, it isn't just about catching a glimpse into the day to day activities of others, although it's much more interesting than he thinks it might be! It's also about gaining experience and knowledge from other, like-minded people who are at a different stage on the path, gaining support and encouragement from others when you start to have doubts, receiving a great deal of support and genuine care from newfound friends at times of difficulty and sharing tips and knowledge that you have gained along the way to help others.
I know I don't know any of you personally, but I bet that if bloggers met, they would have a lot in common. I don't really know anyone else 'in the flesh' who is trying to live like I am, so your support, guidance and encouragement has been invaluable to me over the last year. Let's hope you will continue to visit my blog and continue to write yours until the next milestone is reached.
Many many thanks for making my first year in blogtopia such a fun and enriching one xx

  2. Happy Anniversary :-)

    Everything you say about blogland is so true, and all the bloggers I have met have been exactly the same, and as nice 'in the flesh' as they come over on their blogs. The commenters and Followers from my blog that have accosted me on Llandudno prom have been a pretty good bunch too ;-)

    Here's to your next year. xx

  3. Happy Anniversary, mine blog would have been over a year old now if I hadn't ended it and started again, what you say is so true, I don't know anyone in the flesh like this, although I have never met any bloggers I do feel we are all good friends.

  5. Happy Anniversary - what's one year? paper??
    I often think although the internet is used in terrible ways by some it can bring so many positives to people's lives and being able to read personal blogs is one of those positives - I've loved reading how you have transitioned from work to starting to live I guess more mindfully producing your own food and editing out things in your life which are unnecessary.

  6. I've never met another blogger, but feel that I would get on with many of them.
    There is so much to learn in blogland about people from other countries that you would never get from a newspaper.
    Happy Anniversary and many more of them.

  7. Happy anniversary! I love reading blogs. Unfortunately I don't have my own blog....my life is so mundane in comparison to others!

  8. Happy blog birthday . Everything you say is right and I dismissed blogging as a waste of time for a couple of years before I finally got going. Now I count it as a useful hobby as you never know what you might learn and who you might 'meet'.
    Keep Blogging and reading and commenting and I will too

  13. Congratulations on your first year :). I hear you on what you are saying about who would want to read blogs I thought that too. I am lucky to have a few friends who are living the same way that I try to but we are quite spread out over the county it would be lovely if they were neighbours!
