Labor of Love in the Rain~My Celebration!

I never thought I would be celebrating a milestone on Active Rain such as this one! I've never posted a milestone post before but this got to me! I noticed that I'm bordering (and should be there by morning)...

I can remember back when I was at about 10,000 points. I could't believe how I could ever make it grow.

At first it was a simply a goal for the points...

Then I started finding my blogs in Google.

I began to study the greats...

I opened up my eyes and saw the sign!

And, so many more. All these Top Notch blogger/writers kept me coming back! The more I read the more friends I made. I love it here and want to say thank you to all my pals that have become so important to me!

Here's to you my friends!

Congratulations Deb! It's funny isn't it how we get to that first milestone and then seem to forget about it for a while until a big one is looming ahead. It's tough to write quality, consistently but you do it so well!

Deb, Congratulations! I really enjoyed your celebration! Thanks for the invite! Nice party! I just recently hit the 10,000 and can relate...since then I am hooked...not so much for the points...but so much to learn and so much fun to play in the rain!!! Now if I could just begin to follow some of these greats too! I think that includes you! Lori Cofer, Beasley Realty
