First Greetings_A YEAR LATER

Words Crafter's first year anniversary for her blog was today. It got me to thinking. Hey, I started a year ago, too : the Ides of February to be exact.

So much has happened. So many new friends made. It seems both longer and shorter to me. I want to tell each and every one of my loyal friends who visit how much it means to me that you do. Thank you so very much.

I thought it would be fun to show you my very first post to compare notes with my intentions and what my blog has become :

Hi, Everyone :

Roland here. I was born in the BC years. That's Before Computers. Well, almost. So if this blog is ragged, then I'm doing better than I thought I would.

I'm one of those most wretched of creatures : an unpublished author. But I have managed to earn a Bachelor's degree in English education and a Master's degree in Psychology. I can become published. It's just a matter of determination and the willingness to grow.

Of course talent would help. But which of us can assess our true worth? We just gird our loins and jump into the fray. Let others decide our performance as we duck and weave through the slings and arrows of outrageous misfortune. And so that is what this blog is all about.

Jumping into the fray.

Wish me luck as I wish you success in your dreams and struggles.
