And On This Day Six Years Ago, Another Part Of My Heart Opened Up


Damn. I almost missed realizing that today is my blogoversary. Six years.
Six years, 4109 (now 4110) posts.
Four gazillion words.

As I have said before, I may not be a great writer but I sure am fucking prolific.

And I do not feel like waxing poetic about what this place means to me. Just please know that it means the world. You people who come here, whether you've been coming here for the entire six years or  just somehow found your way here recently- you are, well, I'd say something really stupid like the wind beneath my wings but you know that's not me.
But you are.
Thank-you.

I had no idea when I started using that picture on my blog anniversary that I would eventually begin to resemble that old lady. Or maybe I look more like the old man. Whatever.
We've been through some stuff here, haven't we?
And at your places too.

As always, thanks most especially to Hank for pushing me. In doing so, he gave me about the best gift I've ever received. And to Mr. Moon for making sure that I have a device to compose and send all these words out on. I, Ms. Prolific, have no actual words to express how much I love you.

This year, in lieu of my usual requests for gifts of fine leather goods, genuine gold and platinum jewelry with precious stones, chocolates and flowers, I am asking you all to just say a little prayer for my immortal soul.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

All joking aside, I'm the one who owes you.

All right. Let's get on with it and lead our lives and let's keep talking about it. Let's keep holding out our hands to each other. Let's keep telling our stories. Let's continue to keep each other tenderly in our hearts.

Our incredibly blessed hearts.

Love...Ms. Moon

  3. Congrats Ms. Moon. And as many people will tell you today: Thank you! I stumbled upon your blog right before Owen was born so I guess I've been here for half the journey. I am so appreciative. Your blog is a necessary part of my day. Right up there with brushing my teeth and my daily soy mocha. Keep it coming!

  13. Don't often comment, but SHOULD because you should know that I read you most every day, that as much as I love the little mothers and their craft blogs, your words (and many days I shake my head because I feel like we are living twin lives a planet apart from each other) sustain me. Thank you Mary. Thank you and thank you.

  19. Happy blog anniversary. I missed the first few years, but I never, ever miss reading any of your posts. I love how prolific you are, and I'm jealous how easily you capture those thoughts and moments into words. I don't always get around to commenting, but you always inspire so many thoughts and comments in my head, you wouldn't have time to read them all if I could catch the words. Do carry on, and thank you for this place you've made here. I love it.

  20. I joined you a couple of years ago. Maybe it has been longer than that but I'm sure glad that you are here. I am not feeling very wordy at the moment. But hopefully will have something interesting to report on my blog soon. I just don't feel like writing much at the moment.

  22. Happy Anniversary Miss Moon.

    We are travelling, so I have not been checking in as usual.

    Anyway, I'm glad you are here and telling your story... And you so do NOT look like either of those people! You're beautiful and fabulous.
