How can I even begin to thank all of you for bringing me to this milestone. I am overwhelmed at the support I receive from this blogging community, and beyond. When I started this journey a little over five years ago, I was thrilled when I had one follower. I’m still trying to wrap my head around 3500!!
There were many times I have thought about giving up, packing it in and saying it was a fun ride (and I actually did except, my daughter wouldn’t have it), but your comments and likes are what keep me going. The friendships I have made here, and around the social media circuits, are more than I could ever imagine. You have touched my heart and soul, and I am humbled by your kindness!!
Again, thank you so, so very much! ❤
With Much Love,
Dorinda
You are quite welcome! Thank you for your writings and photos.

I know, Dorinda. When I was going through the cancer treatment, my daughter commented that I was her example of being grateful and patient. I thought it was worth all the suffering of any kind. ❤

I am so happy you have such a wonderful daughter that loves and cares about you and knows the hopes and dreams you hold in your heart and soul!! Give her a Big Hug from me for not letting you quit!! Don’t ever do that again!!! (please?). I have a daughter that started my blog and pushed me to post something. Without her I would have missed the best thing in my life WP (not counting family). Glad you had an angel in your family too!!
We want to see confetti and balloons! Don’t mind me. You shifted me into silly!
