My 1 Year Blogging Anniversary

Today is my one year blogging anniversary!  

One year ago today I wrote Closing the Store.  The store had been closed for one week and for the first time in my adult life I was unemployed.  As I continued to write I started getting comments and followers.  I planned to write once a week, no more than 300 words then I decided to stop restricting myself and just write whatever I wanted to write whenever I felt like writing.

This blog was my outlet and finding a network of people who related to me or simply supported what I was writing about was amazing.  In one of the most difficult times in my life this little blogging world helped keep me positive and motivated on the days when I wanted to give up.

I’m not writing the grand post I’d planned for my one year.  I’ll simply share links to a few of my favorite posts and wish everyone a lovely Sunday!

No More Pizza?  Reading through this one today was a good reminder to get back to the three basics I list in the post.

Be Happy…  I still keep these things in mind and can’t believe I used to hate shopping.

You’ve Got Mail!  Reminded me I need to write some letters this week.

Here’s a few posts about the biggest change in my life, my attitude.  As I learned to focus on the positive instead of the negative I finally learned you don’t have to have a perfect life to be happy.  Happiness is about attitude, positive thinking, and finding the joy in the simple things in life.

Focus on the Positive , Changing My Body and My Mindset,  Helping Others on Their Journey 

I found the featured image a few weeks ago while looking for pics for something else and I’ve been waiting for the right post to use it. 😀
