Five years ago this afternoon, I wrote my first tentative "tap, tap" blog post. Now, 773 posts later, I can't imagine life without PoMoGolightly, originally known as Wearing Black in New Mexico. Since that first post, I've changed my knitting style, learned to spin and weave, improved my photography, earned my MFA, gained employment, gotten married, adopted another dog, and so many other wonderful things. There have been moments of tribulation, too, and I'm grateful for the kind words that my dear readers (you!) have shared with me during those times. I've got some exciting things simmering here at Chez Golightly, and I look forward to sharing them with you soon!
Want to see that first day's posting?
You'll be tickled to know that as I type this, I'm STILL wearing black!
The most rewarding part of blogging, though, is the friendships I have formed with so many of my readers. I enjoy the exchange of comments, emails, blog posts, and I am always thrilled when I meet a blogging friend in real life.
So, yeah. Here I am in the back yard of the little yellow ranch with an orange door, a little chilly as fall tests the waters, and feeling grateful that you've chosen to share a few moments of your day with me.
Break out the bubbly and have a glass with me!
Done! Congratulations on a beautiful blog!

Congratulations on 5 years. I've been blogging 5 years, too, as of last January. I'm so glad I did this and, like you, I can't imagine my life without it. The friendships are the real treasure of all of this and I look forward to ours becoming a "real" life one very soon.

How time flies! Congratulations on five years, and hoping you have 5 more great blogging years. Do you think you can get to 10?

Congrats. I wish that I had found you 5 years ago ... but I'm happy to see you each time you post online!
