A year of blogging

Just diggin' in the dirt. I have loved this first year of blogging, after reading other people's blogs for sooo long before taking the plunge myself, when I did it felt like a huge deal.

I have loved sharing the things that make me smile, life's simple, day-to-day events, the joy of family and friends.

I have loved your comments, reading each and every one and marvelling at hearing from old friends and loving making new ones, all so very special.

I have loved finding a space to remind myself that even at your lowest, when days are so very difficult, there really is something to smile about and share with others.

Thank you.

O, K and I are heading off to HES FES tomorrow http://www.hesfes.co.uk/gpage6.html for a week but before packing up all our gear, I'd love to offer some small tokens of my thanks for sharing this space with me.
Please leave a comment, great to hear from old, treasured friends and wonderful to hear from you if you've never left a comment before. Will pick some winners on our return.

Hi dear Smile Mama! How I have so enjoyed following your smiles over the year. You always touch my heart. Here's to another year of your beautiful blog, dear friend!

What I meant to say was, I could never bring myself to blog, as I thought no-one would be interested in what I would have to say, being a SAHM. But you have shown me how to be grateful for all the little things, and not only do I now get more of life, but have started blogging too!

A year?? Oh my goodness; I can't believe that! Happy Birthday sweet lady; I hope you are enjoying the camp.

I love how you show me that even in times of great darkness there is always something good to smile about. Life is rich in blessings if we just remember to look.

Inspirational stuff, mama.

All love
