Espresso Roast Turns One Today
Today is my one year anniversary as a blogger…and what a year it has been. I had no idea how consuming this little thing would become when I ventured into the blogosphere, nor how much I would learn. Of course, as any one year old, I feel as though, in many ways, I am just now learning to walk.
As I look back over the past year, at various posts, interactions, reactions, etc., I am able to see the process of growth and development in my thinking, my learning, and sometimes my un-learning. There is nothing like documenting a year of thoughts and comments on issues to help you see your progress in life.
For those of you who have emailed me to tell me that you have made Espresso Roast a tiny part of your day, I am sincerely grateful. I do not take it lightly that you think this as worthy of even the slightest amount of your time. I also want to take this opportunity to thank you, my fellow bloggers, who challenge me and make me think with your own brand of commentary and insights into life that have led to much of the growth I’ve experienced over this past year.
You’ve encouraged my critical thinking, often causing me to think deeply over long-held ideas or opinions. It’s become hard to go a day without finding out what you are thinking or dealing with as I make my way through my list of feeds.
One of the best things I like about the blogosphere is the sense of comradery. In such a dog-eat-dog world where everyone wants the spotlight on themselves and people are trying to claw their way to the top, this is a place where we go out of our way to make sure that everybody is reading everyone else’s blogs. I think that’s very cool.
Well, who knows where all of this will go? Though Espresso Roast is just a passing bleep on the vast universe of cyberspace, it has been quite a blessing to be able to, as one blogging buddy likes to say, vomit my thoughts onto the screen and see what I have been eating…yeah, that’s absolutely disgusting, isn’t it? Actually that last part was original but it is probably the best analogy for what often happens. OK, enough of that.
I suppose I have covered everything except to thank the Academy for this award, so I will shut up now before the music starts. But this has been a cool ride and I hope God will bless me with many more years of living right here in the blogosphere.

Happy birthday, David! I for one am glad you took up blogging and am looking forward to seeing what you regurgitate on the screen in the year ahead. ;-)
Hey Man,
My blog "worth" went up about $1,000 and I don't know why!
Shoot me an email when you get a chance:
Marty's email
Happy Birthday Espresso Blog.
It has been enjoyable reading. Keep up the good work.
God told me to tell you...he'll think about it.
For acceptance speeches Sally Field's got nothing on you...even so, congratulations. Personally, I didn't think you'd last the week.
That's funny...I was talking to God about you and He said, "Peter who?"
Thanks to all of you. Marty, don't know about the value-thing...I just noticed my blog has increased by about $20K. Cool, huh? I'll email you soon.
I feel in some way that you are my blog offspring.... gee and now you're apparently worth more than me.
Thanks for my inheritance...dad.
David:
Congratulations on your anniversary!
Thank you for all of your help and please continue your blogging excellence!
May God bless you and your family.
David,
Congrats on the one-year mark. Thanks for the advice you offered when I started my blog a few months ago.
Happy belated blogbirthday, David!
