A Drum Roll Please- 100 followers

A very big

to each and every one of you for making me feel like my blog is something that matters.

It was just about six months ago that I would want so badly to put something on my blog but I didn't feel that it was anything that mattered.  It wasn't even important to me so I would just scout around and see what others had to say.

Before very long, I met Polly and Michelle and Kim,

and of course, Angelia (who I found because her name is spelled the same as my daughter's),

 Deidra, Kayla

and then Java.

Through Java I found that there was a group of bloggers that were involved in something I hadn't heard of:  Blog hops

I thought, "What the heck" and got involved.  Through hopping from one blog to another, I found most of you.  You have given me a reason to speak my mind, a reason to think. 

And most of all, a reason to feel like someone really cares.

For all of you.  And I do mean ALL OF YOU.

I have created this special blog award.

It's through your willingness to reach out, to MEET AND GREET,

that I have a new set of friends.

And because of YOU, I have reached 100 followers.

Never in a hundred years would I have guessed that a

Purple Cow

would be my 100th.

Please accept this and pass it on to those who follow your blog, giving you a reason to post.

Those who make it all worthwhile.

With gratitude that can't be measured,

Thank You.
