This is my 100th post on this blog. I really hadn’t thought about it much, until I saw someone else’s blog who was posting her 100th entry. I guess these round numbers are important to us. I don’t know that it is any more momentous than a 87th or 123rd, but the number 100 appeals to us.
Now that I have entered this blogosphere (what a stupid name, btw), I have learned a few things. First, there are a lot of interesting people out there. There have been several “regulars” who have come by to read my posts, and leave wonderful comments. Second, the blogs of those that I read, especially those that I read regularly, have an amazing ability to write about their lives in a way that make me feel as though I know them. Most have no pictures of themselves included on the blog, but I feel as if I would almost recognize them if I ran into them on the street. Third, I have realized how much I love writing here. I can’t explain it, but I never would have thought that I would come to find it so important to me. If I miss a day or so, I think about it, planning what I might write about in the next posting. It is always amazing to me that anyone would have any interest in what I write, but I enjoy the writing process.
Finally, I have learned just a little bit about blogging itself. I have no real technological skills. I don’t know how to add all of the fancy stuff to the blog. I did well to figure out how to make a link to another blog the other day, and I was thrilled when I figured out how to change the banner picture and changed the format a few weeks ago. But I know how to track the “stats”, find out how people come to the blog, add tags, and find interesting blogs written by other people. Just 6 months ago, I didn’t know that stuff. This has all been new to me.
Even if no one comes to read this blog, I will continue to write. I am doing it for myself. Nothing in it is of much consequence. But the 100th post will not be the last-for better or worse!
Thanks to all of you who come by, and to everyone who leaves comments, I enjoy all of it.
Just My Life 
Congratulations!

Happy Hundreth Anniversary!
None of my friends blog, and think I am rather strange to do so. Its lovely to find like minded folk who feel the same way I do!

Keep up the good work! Before you know it, you will be yelling at your Nursing Home Nurses to let you step a little late because you have to finish post #10,000.
Many of us do not put our real pics on here for fearing of psychologically traumatizing our readers…..at least that’s what I do…… though….hidden deep in remote parts of my blog (or blogs) there are actual photographs floating around out there…..
Have a great weekend Blogging Buddy!

I occasionally post real pictures, but never my name. I would blog even if no one read, too – and in fact in the early days hardly anyone did. But I recently passed 1000 posts and almost couldn’t believe that had happened.
