Well today is 12 months since I found Thoughts.com .. wow 800+ blogs ago I was writing about how my husband (at the time) had left me for another women, but maintained he just fell out of love.
I was blogging about my first relationship of substance since he did that, and how it too felt like it was amounting to nothing. And here I am 12 months later, a few encounters with men but ... lol... still single.
But that is not to say I haven't achieved anything over the past 12 months. I've met people on Thoughts that have made me laugh, that have made me cry. I've received amazing support and I've learnt to love my friends ... I'd love to say all 224 of my closest friends, but that would be a little fib! lol I've copped a few negative comments here and there - which is to be expected. I have put myself out there to be judged, and judged I have been.
I've learnt to share myself with you, as many of you have shared yourselves with me. I still find it all surreal at times that there is an online world where I seek comfort at times, where I seek escape. I've written stuff that is funny, sad, hot & saucy, boring, mundane and repetitive. But at least I've kept writing it.
I've often wished I could visit my friends here, but priorities see me putting my financial priorities into my children's future. BUT I do have it on my list of things to do - a thoughts.com tour of my friends. No Vegas and lights, just a tour of warm hugs, plenty of coffee, wine, and laughs. One day ... one day.
I've lost friends here at Thoughts.com ... some only oceans away, others now in another place. The tears have flowed, the same grieving process as if it happened in my material world.
I've been quiet lately here on Thoughts.com ... but I always like to better what I've done in previous attempts. Therefore I'd better start blogging with vigor if I am going to match my 800+ blogs.. lol... I'm only kidding. I hope my future blogging is full of love, fun, happiness, and plenty of new chapters.
It's been a pleasure doing 12 months with you all, and I look forward to another 12 ... at least.
**** HUGS & KISSES ****
See you around my friends.
