Year One concludes

One year ago today I started to look into the possibility of having a blog of my own. Something like 90 minutes later, although I thought I was still just researching the idea, I made my first post to this page, and sent an email to a few friends letting them know I had started a blog.

It was easy. Accidental, even.

Even though I had made the decision to pursue writing on my birthday nearly two months earlier, it was the launch of the blog that started to solidify this idea in my head. Here I had the ability to write about whatever I wanted, with the added incentive of maybe being read by a person or two.

While I have not lived up to my original intent of writing here every day (especially this summer), this blog has become an extremely important outlet for me, housing many words and images that otherwise would have had no real place to go.

And through it I have gradually met a lot of interesting people from around the world. Not bad for something that I thought initially might be a good way for me to waste time and make a few of my friends chuckle from time to time.

In honor of my bloggiversary, I thought I might bake a cake, but then I thought about the image of a man sitting alone in his apartment, maybe wearing a pointy hat, eating an entire cake by himself. It was not a good image for me. So e-cake instead for all the Blogreaders who have helped to make this first year of The Moon Topples a success. Thanks muchly.
