~a very thankful 300th~

3oo blips ago I never would have thought I would still be blipping. 300 blips ago I never new how special this journal would become to me. 300 blips ago I didn't know that there were still so many wonderful and caring people out there in this world. Blip has taught me a lot. A lot about photography, but even more about myself. I am starting to love and appreciate myself more. Blip and all it's wonderful people have helped give me the courage to share myself, it has helped me on my journey. A journey that will never end. I will always be learning and always be growing.

The other day I looked back over most of my blips and I realized that I used to write more, now I seem to run out of time. I want to start to write more again, I don't want to forget all the little things that the kids do and say each day for they end up being the really special things. The real beauty of life. As I looked at all the pictures to chose from today, I never thought this would have been it, but then I thought about what I started my blip for. It was to create a memory for my family, and I am. Here they are at their silliest and happiest! What more could I ask for? This was taken when we stopped at Paul's work to visit on our way to thanksgiving #2 at my parents house. We spent another wonderful day surrounded by loving family, from 13 days old to 89 years young. Love and joy were all around, just as it should be! Thank you Mom and Dad for everything. I love you so much and I am who I am because of all your hard work, guidance, role modeling and love. You are really the best, thank you!

Thanks to you all that find the time to visit my little corner of the world and leave such caring and kind comments. I wish I had more time to work on my photography and I really wish I had more time to visit your journals. Each and every comment means so much to me. I feel that I have made some wonderful friends here, something I didn't imagine would happen, so thanks to you all!

I find it funny that my 100th blip was on Easter and my 300th is on Thanksgiving, are you telling me something God? I think you may be, and I am so very thankful for that! Thankful for my dear family pictured above and all my many other blessings.

We are off to the coast for the weekend for some rest and relaxation! Have a wonderful thanksgiving and weekend everyone!
