A Year In The Blog ....

HAPPY ONE YEAR ROSA'S BLOG!!!

Today marks one year since I began this blog and looking back over the past 57 posts its quite amazing to see whereas I'm still very much the same .. also just how far I've grown. I can remember conversations with Jaycatt and Eric expressing my doubts at putting my own thoughts out on a public format to be read, reviewed, and even commented on ... I have to say
despite my inital resistance.. I'm glad I took the chance and went for it ! So what have I learned in this past year.. what revalations has the past 12 months of expression gained my life .....

I have learned that sometimes .... taking risks that seem impossible, improbable , or insurmountable are the greatest growth of self. I've enjoyed the process of writing my aimless rambles down.. thoughts that pop in your head that often come and go are offered a platform in a blog , in which to be at least looked at and hopefully mean something to a reader.

I've learned to my astonishment that one voice of rambling expression can reach many souls of kindness! One of the best compliments I've ever received in my lifetime came in consequence of this blog ... a wonderful person in their own right.. telling me that my post that day had made a difference in their day.. Dont we all live for little moments like that! Each new day is a possibility to make a positive difference! If not to the world.. then to just one person... you fall asleep at the end of the day smiling knowing you didnt waste the day if you were able to be a positive to someone, somewhere!

I've learned the power of words by participating in the blog world.... its so fantastic how much you can gain by reading peoples blog posts.. in information, insight, as well as inspiration! A once thought impossibility for me personally has turned out to be one of the best things I could have done for myself.

I've learned humbleness, and humility in that my opinion or comment isnt always the way everyone see's the point .. and that diversity can be a good thing :) An outlet for many points of view is quite the productive platform I think.

I've learned therapy... I am in non texting life.. a serious rambler... its something I wish I weren't.. and try daily to improve on ... but in the end.. its a hard fact to accept.. I just talk too much ... I can be annoying ... and thats sad. This blog enabled me to type my wayward rambles happily .. posting thoughts that normally I'd be jabbering away about to anyone in earshot .. has this blog helped me to be less of a chatterbox in real life ....no.. unfortunately.. a motormouth.. is always in gear ... however.. it has been good to have a new outlet of verbal expression!

So Happy One Year! to this blog.. and great and many thanks to all of you who have come and read my efforts of expression! I enjoy writing, but its hearing good folks like you enjoy the reading .. makes this blog a great positive and I'm grateful. THANK YOU for reading!!


Todays Poem:

Rambler:

I am a Rambler
although its not by choice
fate it seems has blessed me
with a very chatty voice

I use it to tell stories
packed with details abundant
and hope that to the listener
the moral's not redundant

Of nothing I can ramble
and tangent on for days
and tell you all nothings details
in many different ways..

I know I can be tiresome
the way I ramble here and there
but know that I am grateful
to have you with which to share

Thank you for your ears to listen
your eyes for indulgent reading
your support and participation
to me it holds such special meaning.


THANK YOU
