Wow!
About 13 months ago I started blogging.
I now have 100 posts. Woo Hoo! Throw some confetti and cut the cake.
When my boys were in elementary school the 100th day of school was a BIG deal.
Their assignment was to count out 100 pennies, 100 fishy crackers, 100 crayons…you get the idea, and bring their 100 items to school.
It was a big celebration. Sometimes they even made hats. One of the boys’ teachers was hung up on hats.
Frankly, I’ve always suspected that the day was actually a bribe for the teachers….”Hey staff, Look! You’ve only got 80 days left! You can hang on a little longer with the Stuart boys, can’t you? Their mom always brings in those good brownies about this time of the year…you can do it!”
Really, my boys are charming.
The first three…that I am not allowed to blog about…have turned into remarkable young men.
We are very proud.
This last one is coming along…I know the jury is still out…but I have high hopes and sore knees from spending a great deal of time in prayer over this one. The last one….he throws off the class curve…I sometimes thought they just hung on to him for the boost in their STAR ratings…if there is such a thing.
100 posts.
It is a big deal.
I’m happy to say that the content has gone in other directions and didn’t stay focused on Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
It’s just that “once you are onto it” as Planetjan says…you want to share what you know.
We want to debunk the mysterious persona that the N tried to create. Seriously, he’s full of hot air.
Woo hoo is right! I still remember when you hit that PUBLISH button for the first time. Before you know it, it will be time for the blog snow to start falling again. What an interesting journey it’s been.
FYI-That 100th day thing is SO First Grade. In Third Grade, we’re so past that. We’re onto polygons and geometrical solids. That said, we still enjoy eating a chocolate cylinder and wearing colorful cones on our heads. Congrats!
Congratulations from me, too! As a fellow blogger, I know how frightening it is to put your thoughts out there for people to read! But ya know, it helps us figure out who we are and frankly, if nobody’s reading, it doesn’t matter.
That’s my rationalizaton anyway.
The point to me is becoming comfortable with who we are, exactly as we are—and keeping our eyes open each day for something we can write about.
I’m glad you’ve stuck it out, and you know what else? I’m glad you’ve been writing about narcissism. It’s important to share what we’ve learned with others. Not that they’ll pay a whole lot of attention until they’re crying their eyes out…but we can try to help, right?
Big hugs,
