My 100th Post

If my blog were a mirror-- my identity, wisdom & my truest passions would be its reflections. Through blogging friendships were made that were like those flickering candles in the darkness. Or the beam of light from the lighthouse for the ships during a massive storm. Anonymous people who in different parts of the world touched me with their words, their inspirations like a pebble dropped in a stream. As I look at my past 99 posts, I see the metamorphosis of my thoughts over the period of these two years. From the cheery, bubbly immature slightly superficial me I have come far to the extremely profound yet highly determined stronger mature me. I am still very much the girl I was those 99 posts ago but it seems to me that a comforting blanket of my security and faith within myself has wrapped itself around me.
Oliver Wendell Holmes once said "Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions." Mine never did but I am glad with how it did and how it is today. It stretched me to the horizons I could never attain if I hadn't known them.
And so, thanks all of you who cared.
