Hello Friends! In January of this year, I began my tenth year of blogging -- I can hardly believe it. In some ways it seems like it hasn't been any time at all since I published that first post in 2011; then in other ways, it feels like I've been doing this always. I've noticed some of my blog friends have also been writing their blog for ten years; I didn't realize that so many of us had started around the same time. I just always assumed that everyone else had been at this a lot longer than me. :D
