In case you haven’t noticed, today I am celebrating my 100th blog post! Time has flown by for me. I started my blog on May 17, 2010 with this post, Welcome. I wrote a few posts here and there, usually really short and mostly just as a way to get me started. I had maybe one or two visitors to my blog occasionally; mostly just friends from Facebook after I announced I had posted something. Why did I start a blog? You can read about that in my post, Why a Blog, which was one of the postacday2011 challenge topics back in January. Never would I have thought that less than a year later, I would have redeveloped my blog, the layout, widgets, etc, improved my writing style and quality of my posts, and gotten to know so many people throughout the world and have some amazing blog buddies. I appreciate each and every one of you more than words can say. One of my blog buddies, Dr. Skeptic, even did an in-depth review of my blog on 1/17/11. You can read it here. I loved it and thought he did a great job!
The addition of the postaday2011 challenge has really encouraged me and challenged me to grow in my writing, and I am so much more consistent since it started, as you can see in my archives. I’m also really proud of the fact that I have composed 3 poems, something totally new for me, and one of them, Invisible, is going to be featured on another blogger’s poetry showcase in April. I have come a long way since May, and still have a long way to go, but am truly enjoying the journey and hope you are as well. Thank you all for your support, encouragement, comments, likes, and I hope you will keep Walking A Mile with me 🙂
Here are a few of my top viewed/favorite posts:
Weekly Photo Challenge : Boundaries
Weekly Photo Challenge : Curiosity
My Valentine (I was told by a blog buddy that this post was featured)
What posts of mine are your favorite? What would you like me to post about in the future?
Making my wish to be "freshly pressed" by the end of this year 🙂

Congratulations on your 100th Post Stacey – well done! I have a way to go yet, but getting there!
One of my favorite posts of yours was “Letter to My Grandfather”. It was written from the depths of your heart, and it certainly touched mine; it was beautiful.
I also love your posts about nature and the great photos you choose to go with them. I love anything to do with nature!

Thank you so much Barb. I appreciate you kind comments. I am also a fan of nature. Hopefully will get a bunch more photos up soon.

Congratulations Stacey. You’ve come a long way and I can’t wait to see your poem that is being featured.
I don’t think you will have to wait too long to be Freshly Pressed. You’ve got great talent and I enjoy reading your blog.
I’ve got some catching up to do but I couldn’t miss today. Congrats again!! 🙂
February 23rd, 2011 at 4:15 pm
Rose, thank you for encouraging me to submit my poem to be featured. I’m really looking forward to it myself 🙂 And as for freshly pressed, I do hope it happens soon, but even if it doesn’t, I am just enjoying what I’m writing and posting.

Kudos on your perspicacity, and stick-to-it-iveness Stacey.
I have been blogging since 2008, but never did I come close to posting every day. The run-up to the election in 2008 left me burned out. And, when I returned I was very productive, but cancer got in the way, but here I have not found my stride.
I am going to try something from my expertise! All About Employment & Unemployment
Keep up the good work! How do you make all those neat PICS you post?
Take care, Charlie

I agree that this is a really fantastic idea, I’m at 98 posts and I wouldn’t have even realized that if I hadn’t seen this post first. I’m a new visitor to your blog so I’ll have to get back to you about which is my favorite post of yours- But I’ll be starting with those that you listed here. 🙂
February 24th, 2011 at 9:10 pm
