post 500

can you believe that this is post 500?
yes, i said 500.
5 friggin hundred.

i can not believe
that i have had 500 posts
worth of words.
i can not believe
that you still read.
i can not believe
that you still comment.

when i started this blog
i was in a different space.
i needed a place to put
my words, my grief, my love and my anger.
a place to tell my story.

i did not know if people
would read, would care, or comment.
i did this for me.
but along the way it changed.

it turned into friendships,
connections and a community.
and i like to thing that every once in
a while something i wrote helped someone
in some small way.

i often wondered
how long i would blog.
if i would ever call
myself a blogger.

i am happy to say
that i can not imagine
not writing.
and yes i call myself
a blogger.

thank you for sticking with me.
for supporting me.
for caring enough to read.
and being witness to this crazy journey
called life.

as a thank you.
5 readers will win
one of the following
yarn, fabric, or something handmade.

leave a comment by chace's birthday.
monday february 14th, 2011.
and let me know which giveaway
you would most like to have.

i know there are alot of
"lurkers" out there.
now is a perfect time
to come out of hiding.
