Wow, I can tell by the number of responses to that last post that I am not the only one bugged by gag inspirational stories. Sorry!

It was one year ago today that I started this blog after being in awe and inspired by my sister-in-laws blog. It has been a really fun experience. Before starting a blog, I had a track record of being a really, crappy writer. I cringe when I read the papers I wrote in college. Honestly, they were horrible. After I graduated from college and was working as an employment counselor, I remember sitting down to my computer and having this strong, strong innate desire to be a writer. I felt it over and over. The only thing standing in my way was the fact that I was a terrible writer. So I never tried it. When I started the blog, I found that I really enjoyed the writing process- I am kinda proud of some of the posts over the past year. Of course, I am also ashamed, embarrassed, and in denial about some of the other posts I wrote, but that is neither here nor there. It has been fun and a bit liberating for me, and your comments have meant the world to me.

In honor of my one year anniversary, I will be giving away to one lucky commenter. . . nothing! Sorry, I have nothing to give. But still feel free to leave a comment. Thanks for stickin' with me thus far.
