Thank You For The Blogiversary!

Well, what do you know. It is the eve of The Breadbox Letters' blogiversary, and I have YOU to thank for it, you who have come along with me on this journey. It has been four years since I sat down to this computer (brand spanking new then, bought specifically for the purpose of blogging) and plunked out my first-ever post.

Things have changed at this tiny spot on the Internet in these four years. I've learned that blogs are that way.... they change and evolve. Which Breadbox Letters seems to have been doing again lately, hasn't it? More and more, I'm sharing graphics - and I thank you for your patience as I do so. I like to keep things rather brief (after all, there are so many blogs out there with inspiration to offer), so graphics do seem an appropriate thing to share now and then.

Thank you for being here as I learn to put words with pictures, and as I post writings of saints, and as I share a personal story now and then.

If anyone should care to stroll down Memory Bloglane with me, some of our archived 'stories' can be found by clicking here.

And a few adventures of My Excellent Family (who are kept mostly out of the 'bloglight,' but I sneak up on them now and then) can be found by clicking here.  

And our most popular-of-all-time-post can be found by clicking here.  

AND - that first ever blog post, written four years ago tomorrow??  Ta daa.... right here!

Four years spent primarily with words of the saints. It is a privilege for which I thank God.

And I thank you, my friends, for spending moments of your precious time at this little spot on the Internet. I thank you oh, so much.

  3. Congratulations on your blogiversary! I am so happy when I visit here. I don't comment often, but that's only because I am always left speechless....usually just left nodding my head in agreement most of the time, not needing to leave words.
