Happy Birthday, Shabby Poetry!

A year ago today, I started this blog. And what a year it's been...

I definitely don't post here as often as I did this time last year, and I'm sorry. But I still adore this cyberspace of mine, where I can verbalize my creative thoughts. I post here whenever the mood strikes me and I want to keep it that way. I love that Shabby Poetry is something that I love and that I feel no obligation towards. I post here because it is (at the risk of sounding cliche) a safe space and because I want to be there. This is My space. And I'm so very glad I created it, one year ago today.

Thank you for reading. I can't tell you how much it means to me.

I'd also like to take this moment and talk about the world of blogging and bloggers that Shabby Poetry has opened up to me. I can still follow the web path that took me from my best friend's blog to other blogs that I know read faithfully. I'm so grateful for the community I've found through blogging. It is loving, welcoming, and accepting. And my world is a little bit brighter, one year later, because of those dear writers I've found here on the internet.

So happy birthday to my dear, shabby, little internet space. I'm lucky you're mine. And thank you to my wonderful readers and thank you to the big wide internet blogging community.
