300!

With this post, I hit a very special milestone. THIS is my 300th post! It's only taken me 3 1/2 years to get here, but here I am! If you read this blog on a regular basis, you know that most of what I've written over the years has been silly stuff about movies. Every once in a while, though, I do feel inspired to write about something that is more personal and important to me. I probably share more than I should and more than makes my family comfortable, but they know how much I like to write about them. My daughter and real writer, Beckie, has been encouraging me to write a memoir for a long time and even bought me a book last Mother's Day- "The Autobiographer's Handbook" and a Moleskin notebook to help me get started. So, maybe I will - although I'm not sure that I have a book's worth of an interesting life to talk about. We'll see. Blogging just seems easier and fills my need for instant gratification! Too bad I don't get paid to write here!

Today I just want to thank the people that stop by here to read my silly little stories and observations. It's incredibly validating and satisfying in a way that is hard to describe to know that my words have made a difference to anyone else (other than myself). So, THANK YOU!  I am really going to try to step it up and write more interesting 'stuff' than movie reviews going forward. I think it's the least I can do for you since you take the time to read this.
