I realized when I was looking at the dashboard for my blog that this will be post two hundred I’ve published since last October. I don’t post every day…only about 165 short of that mark! But still, two hundred posts…that’s a lot of words.
I want this blog to be a lens for viewing the positive and uplifting moments in life. I also celebrate humor, comfort, joy…all things wise and wonderful. The best things that have come from blogging in the past year?
- Exercising my creativity
- Finding the discipline to work on this project
- Learning new skills and technology
- Meeting new friends via WordPress and reconnecting with others
- Finding all sorts of resources for whatever I’m writing about – the Internet never ceases to surprise me!
- Being inspired, amused, touched, challenged, amazed by others – there are so many wise, clever, and incredibly funny people in the blogosphere.
So for this little milestone I’m sharing some of my favorite new quotes…oh, there’s a never-ending supply! These are a nice sampling of wisdom, humor, and cleverness. (All images from Pinterest.)
Enjoy!
Grace and Life 
Happy 200!

Way to go! 200 blogs is great. I started with the concept of daily blogging but ran into a few days of no internet service. My next blog was even better, so I’ve been letting mine marinate a little before jumping on the send button. Yours are great every single time, so you must be wiser than me! And you are MOM, right! LOL

Hmmm, doubt that I’m wiser! My personal goal has been to blog weekdays and take weekends off, but sadly, real life frequently interferes! I felt frustrated for a while, but then I realized I was the one who self-imposed the timing expectation, and I think turning blogging from an enjoyment to another daily chore robs it of joy. So I try to be somewhat regular, but not fixated on a daily post.
By the way, just subscribed to your blog today. Should have done it already, had just been going to your site to read. Now I won’t miss anything!
Happy weekend!
