There are so many reasons why I have chosen to blog, but the most important one of all is you; all of you wonderful people that I’ve met – and continue to meet – along the way. From all over the world. You make me think and smile and laugh and even cry. You are supportive and inspirational and entertaining and creative. And I never would have met any of you if it weren’t for blogging.
As the year ends, I wish to express my gratitude to you, my blogging friends, for taking the time to stop by and read my posts, for all the lovely comments you leave, for all the kind words and compliments you offer about my photography, and for sharing another wonderful year with me in this amazing place on the internet.
I’m grateful for all of you. And I look forward to another wonderful year together. Thank you, my blogging friends! Peace and joy to all of you in 2014.
