Break out the Bubbly!!

So it's time to break out the champagne, or at least the cheap red wine. Rich just pointed out that I've broken the 20,000 point thresh-hold. Ok, so it's no 500 posts like Lenn or 10,000 comments like TLW. But hey it's got to be cause for some celebration, at least here in my Lewis Center, Ohio living room. I mean if you can't celebrate your own accomplishments, who will??

And who knew when I was first introduced to Active Rain just about a year ago, it would be such an interesting journey. I didn't know I would meet cool mutha's or amazing stagers. I've met blogging Bertha, a realtor who's got nuts (but isn't nuts) and learned about Real Estate Shows. I've been exposed to the gamut of Florida, everything from wild parties to ice cream and marshmallow drops.

What a great and varied place this is. Who knows what the next 20,000 points will bring? Hopefully it won't take me a year to accumulate them. But even if it does, I can't complain because the journey has been / is so incredible. So pick up your glass and give a salute to Active Rain and its members - an amazing resource and network.

It is reason to celebrate! When I crossed 10,000 points, I found out one thing, only 3% of AR member even passed that, so 20,000 even less have made it that far!! (didn't do that math yet) Yes, this is a great and varied place, and I can say for sure myself, I have learned LOTS here!!! Congrats!

Well done!

Positive, fun, make the reader feel good.

How about coaching the closest blogger you know?

Remind him you can write good things, too.

All our best.

Hi babe. If I stop stealing all your good ideas, maybe you would inch up faster. Sorry. Another idea would be to write about the dogs.

What about me? I stopped by to celebrate with you too. Are you still mad that I keep stealing your ideas?? I'm telling you - blog about the dogs. We need to get some value out of them.

Calie - thanks for stopping by. TLW is my role model but I definitely have a ways to go to even come close to her in points or comments made.
