Dear reader,
Gently, you come and go. I feel you everyday when I connect. I know you have been here. I feel you here. I notice that you have read certain posts and have ignored others; some you have read over and over. Sometimes you leave a comment, a referrer line, or the wisp of a click. Sometimes you leave no tracks at all, but I know you have been here.
I feel the ghost of you here–shaking, rattling, turning over, thumping, tapping, and examining the collection of words that I have left on display for the day. I don’t know you, and I wouldn’t recognize you. But I am sure our silent exchanges will keep crossing, randomly, serendipitously, two shadows in tandem for a twinkling… the ghost of you and the ghost of me.
That was my post last November 17, 2007, and that is how I still feel… the ghost of you and the ghost of me crossing in the blogosphere…
Thank you for being here for the past year, for reading… for commenting… for coming back…
Forgive my indulgence as I celebrate today. Somehow I missed my one year culture vs content birthday yesterday. I can’t believe it has already been a year since I conceived the idea. When I told my husband he exclaimed, “It has only been one year?” I guess to him it seems like forever since I started blogging here, and I am sure it seems to him that I am always on my computer… blogging… but I keep coming back because of you dear reader. Thank you again for being here.
Here are a few of my favorites over the past year in case you missed one:

Tara,
Are you having a good summer? Is it hot enough?

Bonnie,
I’m like Wayne,”has it been a year?” Thank you for many times putting on paper (welllll…….. screen) what many of us are thinking but don’t know how to put in words. I’m so blessed by your writing, but nothing like I’m blessed by your friendship.
Love you,
Syble
Bonnie,

Bonnie,
Your blog was one of the first ones I started reading in Dec. when I was thinking about starting myself. I should thank you for the inspiration and example to aspire to. Your style is a blessing! I do so admire your eloquent expression, even though I may not always comment, I’m here thinking about what and how you’ve said it!
Claudia 🙂
Happy Birthday, content vs culture! Long may you live.
Well worthy of celebration!!!
Happy birthday.
