Hidden Blog Reaches 1,000th Post

I just looked back at post #1, from back on July 1, 2007:

Blogs had been a start-and-stop affair for me before Hidden Blog finally took root. Who'd have thought that barely more than a year and half later we'd crack four digits? Or that people would actually be reading Hidden Blog regularly?

Blogging has been a therapeutic outlet, an exercise in fun, creativity, and optimism. It also forms a neat scrapbook to look back on years from now. Life is so short... last night Grandma's life nearly ended after 92 years, and it's not expected to last 93. How sad would it be to lose into darkness those moments in life that burned brightly? We live, we love, we struggle, we celebrate. We bloom like flowers in a creator's garden, shine like a spark that fades softly into the night. Not to be remembered, but to make a difference, and all the while to bask in the warmth of the journey.
