on the occasion of my 100th post
The 100th post is a lot of pressure.
I feel like there should be cake. Picaken to be exact.
(This one was a blueberry pie encased in lemon cake. The Queen of Desserts.)
Or maybe there should be a present under your seat . . . go ahead. Look. 🙂
How about a picture of my cat? Who could apparently be making me crazy??? (DO NOT click that link if you love your cat. Don’t. Don’t do it. But if you must, bookmark it and get right back here.) Inside joke for those who chose to read: So now the new question is Crazy Cat Lady: which came first the crazy or the cat? Also, like any of us needed one more thing to worry about. Or to add fuel to the cat-haters’ fire.
But seriously, thank you for reading and for coming back to this piece of cyberspace again and again. There’s a lot to read on the world wide web and so little time to read it. So thanks! I appreciate every read, every like, every comment (well, except spam and the few hater comments I’ve received), every share.
I started this blog three and a half years ago. (Don’t do the math. I am definitely an inconsistent blogger). “Addiction, recovery and faith” is where this piece of writing began. You can read about that here.
Every now and then though, I find that I need to write something different. Because that’s heavy stuff.
Besides you all seem to like it when I write other things . . . ironically, my most-read post of all time is about skipping school to go to the Super Bowl parade . . . you know everybody loves a rebel.
Anyway, I’ll get back to the heavy stuff, but I do like variety. And joy. Joy is good. I hope that readers who come looking for encouragement in their battle with addiction — whether it’s their’s personally or a loved one’s — see that it’s possible to have joy again. Because in the middle of it, everything seems so hopeless.
So tonight, if you are willing to play along, and in honor of Throwback Thursday (how convenient is that?), please choose one of the posts below to visit.
Thank you!

Thanks for reading!
Thank you for your kind words, Laurie. And thank you so much for reading!
Keep on blogging! You’ve got so much wisdom and life-experience to share with many. And they are probably like me, often readers, rarely commentators. It is a joy to see the journey God has you taking!
