atheist parenting atheist blog
It occurred to me that TWO blog anniversaries are happening for me.
THIS POST is my 600th post, which is cool.
And on February 7th, this blog will be FIVE YEARS OLD!
FIRST:
Congratulations Me!
I've given it some thought as to how I want to celebrate this journey and I've decided to go simple. My very first blog post was a list of descriptors in an attempt to summarily say Who I Am. I thought I'd show you that post and then type a list of Who I am Today, in an effort to see where this journey has taken me. To do that I am copy/pasting the first list (blacked out so that I don't see it yet, then unblacking it after I've written my second list...just so I don't influence myself...lol)
Here is my list from February 7, 2010:
