A milestone...

(A Weekly Top Shot Entry)

100 (oops! now 101!) followers!  Over two years ago I started this blog at the suggestion of one of the execs. in the office who liked my photos.  I had no expectations, no goals, no preconceived notions about this medium.  I just thought it would be a really cool way to get my photos out there, to see what people thought, to learn something new.  Two years has flown by and, whenever there has been a major event in my life or a significant milestone or a strange occurrence, I usually take stock and think about what has transpired and what I've learned...if anything.

So, here goes.  The ten things I've learned through blogging...so far...

People are supportive.

There is kindness in this world.

Sometimes you need to grow a thick skin.

We don't necessarily need to speak the same language to understand each other.

Think twice before corresponding with 'Annonymous.'

I can redecorate my bedroom for about $100.

Someday I want to visit Washington and Nebraska.

Reconsider before you add music to your blog.

Sometimes less really is more.

Classical music does inspire...

just like all the followers and all the comments and all the personal messages.

I appreciate every one of them!
