Blogaversary - The Ocho
Monday, January 13, 2014 at 7:15AM Eight years. That is crazy.
Eight years ago today I started blogging. My drive was to share my story and connect with others as I travelled down a path to better health.
There have been lots of ups and downs over these 8 years. The ups have included some major changes to the way I see my diabetes and my attempt to keep it managed. The relationships I have madet that stemmed from this blog have been a major positive in my life. Friends that I will have forever!
The best thing that has happened to me is hearing from the people my blog has touched. I share all my stuff on this site in hopes that others will not feel alone and can learn from what I have been through. Hopefully saving them some grief and struggle. That is a dream come true for me and why I continue to do this.
Sure I don't write as often as I used to but I promise I will always share my stuff, I will always be honest, I will always be looking for more people to connect with, and I will always keep this place as my little internet home.
Happy Blogaverary to me.

Happy blogaversary George! I'm so glad to know you and I'm so thankful you're part of the D-OC.
This blog led to our friendship. I'm so grateful you started it, and have shared so much about your D experience that I identify with. Happy Blogaversary.
George, you raised the bar when it comes to blogging with integrity -- telling the good, the bad, and the ugly. Though I don't always say so with everything you write, I always read it, and sometimes - months or years later - I remember, recall it, and relate to it. That's a testament to how powerful your words really are.
Happy Blogaversary, Ninjabetic.
