~ 1,095 Days ~ My Blogversary!

~Three years~

I have been writing here for 3 years!

Like so many of you, I began this blog for our family.

I was a reader of several blogs at the time

and thought it would be a brilliant way

to share our daily lives with family! 

Along the way I began to find more blogs that I loved following.

That you gave me chance to peek into 

your daily lives was so fascinating to me! 

But, I have to be honest.

I always felt shy about leaving comments!

I wondered what *you* would think of me.

Because all of you seemed to know each other so well!

It was it's own little World,
this Blogland was!

I felt like the new kid in school walking
into the cafeteria for the first time!

One day, I took a Leap of Faith and began to comment.

And as I kept up with my fave blogs, 

participated in the conversations, I got to *know*

so many of you. 

With each new blog post I read, 

I felt a part of something.

As sappy as that may seem, this little blog world

began to mean the world to me!

The day I got my very first comment,

I was on Cloud 9!

The comment was about the horses.

Could I maybe show more pictures of them?

The commenter was a city girl, in a

far~away~country.

She loved horses, but never had seen one

up close and personal!

And then it dawned on me.....

Just because I may think my life is boring quiet and usual,

to someone else, it could be quite interesting!

I never, ever dreamed that anyone would find

my daily world.....

....of mucking stalls,

unloading hay and straw,

cleaning the barn,

dealing with princess Allegra,

living with a Jelly-Belly Klepto Cat,

bathing a very muddy Cadence,
the antics of three dogs and a small herd of cats,

soothing the nerves of old gal Allure,

finding out Miss D was pregnant (Oy),
and dealing with sassy, Little Miss Annie~ 

interesting!

Why wouldn't it be? 
Our differences in living are 
what make our lives fascinating!

And after I began writing about 

living with chronic illness, 

my little blog world expanded even more.

I was able to connect with 

other bloggers who were dealing

with the same things I was.

And more than any of you will ever know,

your comments and emails filled my heart.

And made me feel less alone and afraid.

When I shared last year about my sweet Nana being

diagnosed with Alzheimer's, so many of you left comments
and wrote emails about your own family trials in dealing 
with this horrid disease.
I couldn't believe how many of us were dealing with this...

A peak into someones life.

A way to connect.

Realizing that everyone has daily trials and tribulations.

You lift my spirits.

You make me laugh and smile.

You make me think.

You introduce me to new things.

The one true thing that I have found,

is that we are more alike than not!

Each of us making our way through this world,

documenting it one post at a time.

And to all the newbie bloggers who 

email me to ask how I found my nitch....

Keep posting! Keep commenting!

Finding your *nitch* is right around the corner.

I promise!

To those bloggers who helped me, 
so very much, when I was new to  Blog World..
thank you, thank you! 

To those of us who have been in Blogland for a while now..

remember to support those new bloggers.

We were all standing in the cafeteria line, 

alone, at one time too..

Pay it forward!


I really love putting together blog posts!
I love to write.
I adore being able to put pictures 
along with the stories.
When you take your time, to stop by,
I never take that for granted.

Thank you so very much for being a part of

From My Front Porch in the Mountains.

It truly means the world to me when you show up here!
