10 Years

Today I am celebrating 10 years of blogging.  My first post from Harmony Hills was published February 12, 2012.  (To those of you who are new here - that post can be found under Archives on the left).

Essentially this blog was to share art and make friends.  Who could have guessed then where this blog would take me.

With all of you I have had the privilege of traveling the world.  Each person who has stopped by and visited me in the past decade has left a wonderful imprint on my life.


Some have closed their blogs and moved on.  They are missed!  Others though have continued to share their creativity, thoughts, and their lives.  I cannot adequately express how grateful I am for each of you.

As we all so well know life happens and in those happenings we hit bumps along our path.   When we look back though we know that those who come along side of us during those difficult times enriches and encourages our journeys.  Today I give thanks for all of you who have been there with me.  

May we all celebrate the wonderful gift of blogging and friendship.  "Hats off"  my dear friends!

Hugs!

Debbie

  4. That's wonderful you've been blogging for 10 years Debbie! Your words here are so special to read, and Yes, we do get satisfied with writing our words and sharing our photos and visiting other blogs, but we also get so much more. We get those treasured friends who share the ups and downs of our lives. You are one of those cherished friends, and I truly thank you for that. The photo of your dog went perfectly with your post, as I'm sure is one of your most loyal friends of all. : )

    Have a good week, Debbie.

  6. I treasure our friendship and I remember the olden days when we were first getting to know each other. It doesn't seem possible it could be 10 years. I'm very thankful for our friendship.

  8. Bonjour chère amie, Déjà, je te souhaite un joyeux anniversaire pour la création de ton blog !! Ce qui m'a poussée à vérifier à quel moment j'avais commencé le chemin du mien !... le 3 février 2010 !! wouhaou déjà aussi !! 😄
    Il est dommage qu'un grand nombre de bloggers ait arrêté de publier. J'ai retrouvé beaucoup d'entre eux sur Facebook et Instagram. En revanche en ce qui me concerne bien que je sois sur ces réseaux sociaux, j'aime créer mes petits billets sur la blogosphère, qui est un peu mon petit journal.
    J'ai réussi à ne pas être dépendante en ne publiant que lorsque j'en ai envie.
    C'est toujours un immense plaisir que d'entrouvrir la porte de ton univers.
    Que cette belle aventure continue !! Je t'embrasse affectueusement,
    Bisous bisous
