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
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!
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!!
Cooks you grow day by day in every way, I love reading your blogs my angel. I hope I am well soon so I can also start with blogging. I think I would love it. When you know the difference between been and being do let your mama know hahaha.
