Today I'm going to 'celebrate' the 2,000 posts I've stuck up on this weblog.
This post will mark #2,003.
That fact alone ought to frighten me. LOL Oddly enough, it does not.
The number of posts here is really irrelevant.
What gets accomplished here--is.
I get to pull stuff out of my head and put some order to it here.
Every once in a while someone points out the lack OF order to it.....LOL....and it amuses me enough to move me to where I need to be.
Yesterday--amidst the noise and hubbub in my head--I did some wandering through the archives, read back to places I've been just this year.
I'd have reported this year as 'just another year in the life of Mel'.
I'da said the same for the year before--and the year before that...and the year before THAT....
I'm not good at benchmarking time, obviously.
I'm fairly disciplined in staying in the day.
But yesterday I wandered through it here.
Which led me to wandering in other places.....
Which reminded me of how graced I am.
Trust me when I say I needed the reminder.
#2,003--another one of 'those' posts where Mel doesn't say anything earth shattering or enlightening, where she simply reminds herself "Oh.......the places you've BEEN!".
Where Mel whaps herself in the forehead and reminds herself "HERE is a pretty dang good place TO be......."
I'll celebrate 2,003 posts. But not for reasons one might think.
It's no great 'accomplishment'. Leastwise it isn't for me.
I've got tablets up the whazoo with writing after writing after writing.
Pen to paper/put it in black and white is just what I've become disciplined to DO.
And for a number of years -- for 2,003 posts -- I've had this little venue to put down, in black and white, the strange and sometimes entertaining stuff that runs around in Mel's busy little, squirreled up, whacked out 'alien' head.
And for 2,003 posts, people have put up with it. LOL
What WERE you thinking?!?!
That I've managed to get your attention 2,003 times with THAT material......LOL...now THAT is worthy of celebrating.
*snickering and laughing*

I am thankful you allow me to read your writings.
And gawk at your photographs.
Sometimes I just read, without comment. Sometimes I read and I comment and I find doing that is good for me!
Thank you for YOU, Mel!
And HAPPY #2003! WooHoo!!!
