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.
