Seven years ago I gave myself a blog for my birthday. I carved out this space for myself so I could have a place to explore my own creativity without spending a cent. I'm so glad I did because you all have enriched me with your own experiences, encouraged me through trials I could not have imagined at that time, blessed me in ways I never could have imagined, made me laugh, made me cry, taught me things, showed me beauty I didn't know existed. I'm so grateful for each of you who share on your own pages and by visiting mine.
I've been blessed to meet some of you face to face. Without exception each blogger I've met has exceeded my expectation in terms of how wonderful they are in person. I hope the future allows for the opportunity to meet more of you face to face.
Now, if I may ask a very serious favor of everyone...while I am celebrating good and happy things Friday, a good friend of Calypso's is undergoing surgery to remove an aggressive malignant tumor near his brain stem. Doctors have said it has already begun to spread to his spine. It's a terrifying thing for anyone to face but it seems especially frightening for someone so young. He's a smart, funny, caring young man. I know both he and his family would appreciate prayers, good thoughts, any positive energy on his behalf and I would as well.

On a slightly funny note, at least to me, I still remember my wife asking me not long after I started my site if this "blogging" cost any money.
Happy birthday, happy blog-versary!

Happy Blogiversary, and more than that... Happy Birthday!! Let's see, what can I say about my dear Lime for her birthday: You are one TWISTED individual!! (lol) I love the way you make me laugh and challenge me to think. Thank you for taking us through the high times as well as allowing us to travel with you through the low times. I appreciate how you enrich the lives of those around you.
Yes, I will pray for Calypso's friend. May the Lord guide the surgeon's hand and remove this young man from harm's way. And may God bring peace and thanksgiving to all who are involved.
Praying the surgery goes well and for a good prognosis.
I started blogging about the time I stopped smoking. I'm not sure the world is any better off.
Oh, yeah... Happy Blogoversary!
My thoughts and heartfelt prayers heading his way....
And I'd like to be one of those people you add to list of having met. I feel blessed to have had the delight of reading you.
Happy b-day. I'm sending you a virtual cake with trick candles that relight when you try to blow them out. And sending positive energy to Calypso's friend.
You are a very special blogger and I'm glad to have gotten to know you over the past years. Can't even remember how I stumbled upon Limedom!
Prayers being said.......
Prayer said, of course. And Happy Birthday/Blogiversary! I, too, have met many wonderful people via my blog, and you are among the most wonderful of them all.
