Grow…
This week’s keyword for five-minute Friday is Grow. At first I sat here semi confused about what I’d write about and as I was stumbling through websites, catching up on my social network sites and the ever important checking of my blog stats. That’s when I noticed something, in the past two days I surpassed two blogging milestones. I have posted 200 blog entries and reached 1,000 comments.
Is this a really important step? In the greater scheme of things, heck no, but in my little insignificant life it is. I LOVE blogging, I don’t know why, I never enjoyed writing classes in school, in fact I despised them, but now I can’t get enough, I actually focus on improving my writing skills and learning why there is a difference between been and being (granted I have not determined the correct use of those two words yet, but I am trying, which is more than I can say for classes in school!). I love taking good pictures to share with those who read my blog and I constantly think of what might be my next great blogging opportunity.
So this Friday I write about “grow”ing, the growth in my blog, the growth from a free WordPress account to my very new (and much help needed) self hosted blog. Thanks to everyone who’s been along for the ride, I hope you stay buckled in with me as my blog hopefully continues to grow 🙂
Time is up!!
(P.S. if anyone can tell me how to add a ‘subscribe via email’ plugin to my new site I’d be forever grateful!!! and any help with how I can change fonts, that’d be awesome too!)

I’ve enjoyed blogging too, over the past almost 7 years. It’s grown me with friendships, writing, and the treasures of memories preserved!
Congratulations on your blog growth! 🙂

Yes I didn’t mention that but the friends I’ve made have been awesome!! And while most are in the ‘virtual’ world I do hope to meet many of them in person!! So much fun 🙂
Lindsey van Niekerk says
Oh, I agree! What a surprise it was to me not only how much I love blogging but how much it would be a catalyst for my own personal growth!
So happy to have met you here in this blogging world!
Africa says
Yeah the personal growth is huge. For me it’s been documenting where I was, what I had done compared to where I am now and where I want to go and then realizing that how things were before were not ideal to create the way I see our futures going!!
I just love it!!
