Thankful
posted by Gabriela on Monday, June 04, 2007|

This is my 100th post, and I thought it would be nice to do something special, since it took me this long to get to this post, mostly because I procrastinate A LOT. So, I was thinking and considered remembering some of my posts throughout Forever 17's history (which is not much). So I started reading, and I really saw myself growing up, or whatever it is. There was some evolution for this girl. And after reading some posts I read the comments on them, and I came up with a better idea.

I want to thank everyone who visits, reads or comments. I would have given up on blogging if it wasn't for you. LOL.

First I want to thank Celise Downs. Today, the depressed me went to visit her blog and noticed there was something different about it, a whole new look. So I clicked and clicked with curiosity, I read, downloaded, typed, watched, and submitted. And she totally inspired me, the depressed me was a little motivated I must say. Reading about her accomplishments, goals, and experiences, somehow touched me.

Then I visited Bianca over at Stir Fry Kitty, and found a new banner. I was not surprised though, she tends to change banners, I don't know how she comes up with such colorful ideas. So, I started reading her latest post, and once again I was motivated. Depressed me was less depressed. She has so many new plans and she made me think about my own. She's so determined, that's the Bianca I know.

Then I moved on to Kat's place, her blog is called "Stuck in the teenage years". I guess that's why we both enjoy reading each others blogs, we're both stuck in this. I haven't been reading her blog lately, but I read her latest entry and it was refreshing, it was as if I was reading something written by the happy me.

Then I visited Will at The Search for Health in Decadence, found a new poem. And I remembered how his poetry had fascinated me in the first place, and it was the reason for having him as my renter for a week. Then I found a friend, a poet, and an amazing person.

The next blog on the list was Croaker's Corner, I was visiting after a long time. I read the latest post, and it was so entertaining. I was not surprised about this. Everytime I read his posts and I'm about to comment I want to say it was so entertaining and well written, but I try not to because it would be too repetitive. And that just wouldn't work. So I come up with something else. But believe me, there's something about his posts.

My last visit, and my last special thank you goes to Miss Misery Smiles, she's a lot like me, probably because we're both teenagers. She blogs more than I do though. It's so much fun to read all of her posts. We've been emailing, which reminds me... I think I have to check my mail. Anyway, she has always been there, and it's like she really gets me. So thank you for that.

Oh, and meeting all these fascinating bloggers wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for Blog Explosion. So, thanks Blog Explosion for existing. Such a friendly place to be...

So here it ends.

If I didn't thank someone. I probably will in 200th post, and it won't take as long as this one did. I promise. Talking about promises, here are some:

I promise I will:
  • Blog more often
  • Share more than I already do
  • Read more often my favorite blogs
These promises are a lot for me I have to say, especially the second one. I am a little paranoid about my blog life and my real life somehow meeting each other. I don't know if this makes sense, if you're a blogger, I think it does.

Thanks to everyone, to the teenagers and adults. You both have something different to offer, and I'm glad I can have both advice and understanding. =)

XoXo
Gaby

Gaby, thank you so much for the wonderful post. I'm so glad you dug around for a bit and read some previous posts (at least, that's the impression I got). I think you've prompted me to do the same on mine. Just run thru the people I read on a daily basis and thank them in a post. It humbles me to think that I've helped you in some way, and being a writer, that's something we always like to hear.

As for your comment regarding the Barefoot Parties. I'm no longer a Consultant for the company. I tend to go overboard when I'm trying to come up with new ideas for a business and I could tell that had potential to take over my writing. However, you can shop all you want by going to www.barefootparties.com. All those links I put up on my Fun Stuff page link to not only the product, but the site itself. Even though I'm no longer promoting the products, I still believe in them, love them, want to buy them. They're very inspirational and uplifting. All of us females can always use that in our lives, right?

Hello Gaby. Congratulations for your 100th posts. I had my 100th a few weeks ago. It is good to go back, as you did, and to read ones previous posts. And to express thanks to fellow bloggers. Because it takes a lot of work to create a nice blogger friends community. Celise is right. Thank them in a post.

That is what I do. Every Friday I am writing about a blog. Your turn will come also, as your blog is since long in "These are my favorite blogs".

Have a nice day.

Congratulations for your 100th post. Please go on (and maybe a bit more often ;) as I really enjoy reading your blog.

Choose just one thing, Miss Gaby, to improve your day. All it takes is one thing to get the ball rolling. And make sure you get alot of sunlight! That alone will help the depression a great deal!
