My One Year Blogging Anniversary

This week marks my one-year anniversary as a Blogger. My first posting
was on Social Work and Technology the week of October 21, 2010. I
began this blog because of my love of writing, technology and social work. I have learned a great deal about myself  this past year through blogging. I learned just how important it is to finish something you start, even when there is no one looking over your shoulder to make sure you do it, and do it well.

Blogging taught me the importance of non-verbal communication with others, even when you don't know if what you are writing is having an impact. Blogging taught me the importance of organization, commitment, and sacrifice. It taught me the importance of establishing annual goals and more importantly the objectives to help me reach them. Writing this blog taught me just how quickly one year in time passes and the importance of doing what you enjoy, while being respectful of others. It taught me the importance of community, taking time for family, engagement with others, and just how big the world really is. Blogging taught me one person can make a difference, no matter how big or small. I am grateful for having had an opportunity to share my thoughts, feelings, dreams and ideas with others who have "happened" across my blog this year.

Thank you for sharing my one year blogging anniversary with me; I wish you well and much success in the next.
