A Year Ago Today

One year ago to the day, I began this humble little blog before you. I wasn’t certain what direction I would go in or what to expect along the way, but this blog has become so much more than I ever imagined possible. The vast number of daily readers continues to astound me, as does the support and genial spirit that is found around the blogsphere. In short, it has been a wonderful year and I can’t wait to see what will come in the future.
I put together a little video with help from a friend, in honor of the occasion. The song in the background is Another Mystery sung by Dar Williams. Enjoy.

So this 28th July is a great day, considering two of my favorite bloggers (Sally Jane, as well) are having their one year "bloggiversary".
The video is a little cup of perfection, a wonderful thank you for all of your readers: it brightened my day! And I've never heard that beautiful song before so...thanks ;-)
