Blogging Milestones

OK folks, this is it. Post #300! Wow.

I have been rather quiet of late. Mostly because I rarely think of anything but the election, and I'm also rather sure everyone is tired of hearing me prattle on about it. I just can't seem to get anything to come out of my fingers unless it is politically related. So there you go.

Looking back over the life of Bearsmountain, it has become clear to me that it really has become a huge part of my life. A place (one of the only ones) that I can really be "me." I really never guessed it would become what it has become, or that people would actually read it. My blogging life started with a need to chronicle my feelings, that's all.

It's done so many things for me. I've met friends I would never have met.

I think it has allowed me to become more disciplined about my writing. My writing is now a much bigger part of my life than it was before I began blogging. It was sporadic at best before. I would write in my journal when I needed to get things out, but not in any kind of regular way. Blogging has allowed me to own my feelings in a much greater sense.

It is crazy to me that I've kept at this as long as I have. I don't see myself stopping anytime soon.

So there you go, post #300...done and gone.

Peace,

OC
