That's One, Spookannie!

I recently celebrated my real birthday and completely forgot that I started this blog a few days earlier, so Happy Belated Birthday to my virtual alter ego, Spookannie, born November 23, 2007. She and I started this blog with no clear idea what direction it would take us, just a desire to expand our thinking horizons beyond the limits of the paranormal forum constraints and to write more expansively about whatever came to mind.

I often wonder after a post where I will find the next idea to write about, but one always seems to come along ... eventually. I wondered if I had what it took to be a blogger. I have since started two other blogs, so it's possible the answer is yes.

I hope you have enjoyed reading this blog as much as I have enjoyed writing it. I plan to continue as long as I have ideas and an audience, whether large or small.

Happy Birthday to Spookannie

This year on my birthday I am grateful
a. to be alive for another year; hooray for the beating heart and the healthy lungs; you go guys!
b. friends; it only takes a few.
c. my house is not haunted; I think. There was that funny pile of ashes we found on the dining room table last December (and we don't have a fireplace, and I still haven't found an explanation for that door I heard open a few months ago, but hey, if that's all that happens, I can live with it!)
d. my dogs; they love me for the price of a dog biscuit now and then.
e. my husband; he loves me and I don't even give him dog biscuits.
f. my kids; there is room for improvement;
they cost a lot more than dog biscuits.
g. my life; it is good; I am grateful.
If today were your birthday,
what would you be giving thanks for?
