Last summer I discovered the blog. Sure, I had heard of the concept, but to be honest I didn't really know why they mattered or why I should care. Then one day I was lying on the floor, bored out of my brains, and next thing I know I'm spending all my free time learning as much as I can about this concept of "social media" and what it all means.
It was the early entries of this blog that made all the difference.
I was completely fascinated. I started reading all the blogs, listening to all the podcasts, and becoming more and more excited about it. It wasn't long before I wanted to try blogging for myself. I joined twitter and I'd never felt more connected. In a lot of ways, it was empowering.
I loved meeting all the new people, sharing opinions, having real discussions. It didn't matter who I was, or who I was friends with. In a lot of ways, I'd never been happier than I was at this time last year.
Sure, my blog has turned into a wasteland, and my twitter is just nonsense. But through it all, I wouldn't change a thing. I owe everything in my life right now to that day in May. Having said that...
Happy (belated) One-Year Internet-Aware Anniversary to me!
I think you should celebrate one thing everyday. Try it. Find something that makes you happy and give it some acknowledgement. I'm serious... give it some thought.
So, what are you celebrating today?

I'm celebrating the puncture wound in each arm from having blood taken twice in two days. Because they stand for my taking responsibility for my health. I'm also celebrating how okay I am spending time alone, and how nice it feels to get out of bed at 8am because that's when you want to get up.
