Thank You for Ten Years!

/ Katie / 21 Comments

I haven’t had any time this week to write. Or read. Or do much of anything else, really. Lucy’s been keeping us fantastically, beautifully busy.

I love it. Though I do wish I had just a little more time. Or hands. Or both.

Anyway.

I think maybe my busy-ness was kismet, because I got a notification from WordPress today that I’ve been blogging now for ten years.

TEN. YEARS.

When I look back at where I started and where I am now, in blogging and writing and life, I feel so much gratitude. I’ve made wonderful friends here, and they inspire me every day to keep creating. I’ve grown and changed in ways I never could have imagined. I’ve got Lucy, and I live at the beach, and I write poetry. I never thought I could actually write poetry. I feel more brave, more open, and more ready. And I also know that I still have so much more to learn.

If you’re reading this today (or tomorrow or whenever), thank you! Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading and for being here. If you’ve been reading for a while, thank you extra, because you’ve kept me going through many a hard day. Knowing you’re out there keeps me motivated, and makes me want to a better writer and creator and human.

It’s quite a journey we’ve been on together. I can’t wait for whatever comes next.

Sunday Supper #10: Thank you!

My sweet, wonderful friends and followers:

Thank you so much for your kind words, for your outpouring of love, and for sharing your stories. They have been a source of strength and healing, and knowing that you’re thinking of us has helped us more than I can say.

We’re doing better, feeling better – though some days are better than others – and focusing on loving each other and moving forward the best that we can. No one can say what the future holds, but whatever that is, we know that we’ll be in it together, and we know that we are loved, supported, and surrounded by kindness.

Gratitude isn’t a strong enough word.

Just thank you. Thank you, thank you. Graham and I are everlastingly, infinitely grateful for all of you.
