Janet’s House
As most everyone says after one year goes by “I can’t believe a whole year has gone by!” It has! I’ve been writing Janet’s House since last December 27th and have enjoyed every minute of it. It was a brave move for me to push that “publish” button that first day, but I’m so glad I did. I’ve wanted to write for years but back in the olden days the only alternative was to send a story or article to a magazine. Good luck with that! This blog business is just the ticket for those of us with things to say.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who reads what I have to say. It’s so fun to run into a friend and have them tell me how much they like my blog or a particular recipe. I thank my sister for pushing me in this direction. Her encouragement was just what I needed.
My year was filled with reconnecting with many old friends, some through the blog, some through Facebook and several through the death of my father. An 88 year old friend of my dad now sends me several jokes a week. Bless his heart for finding me and reminding me what my dad was like when they were young. Using the computer at 88! Wow! Think of how his life has changed since the 1920’s!
I’ve reread several of my first posts and still feel pretty good about them. My photography has gotten better. I fell off the wagon on Lens365. Although I love my original idea of finding something wonderful to take a picture of every single day, the reality is that some days are filled with many wonderful photo opportunities and others just don’t send me. I think I’ll plan something new.
I look forward to reaching out to more readers. I’ve always got a new project going and I always need to feed someone, so I might as well be writing about it. I’ve learned to cook and sew with a camera hanging around my neck. I feel it’s so necessary to properly photograph what I am trying to say. You know that old saying, ‘a picture is worth a thousand words.’
Thank you again. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions or clarifications are always welcome in the comments. I love to hear what you have to say too!
Congratulations, Janet, and happy anniversary! I do enjoy reading your blog and you have such good ideas that you share in such an understandable way. Keep it up. You are very talented.
