Dear Blog,
How well you've served me! Ferreting out my hidden motives, and teaching me to look inside of myself, you've allowed me to remember that I like to create. 250 posts of random thoughts that I would've forgotten had you not been here to listen. I sit here this night with a burned hand and wonder how I should tell you about it. Shall I be funny, or shall I be dramatic? If I don't write it, no one will know it happened. At least not a hundred years from now.
And so, Blog, you are my gift to myself. You are my memory. Soon you will pour out your cyber-treasure onto paper and become a book. And I care not if another soul ever reads it because I will. I promise.
Guilt likes to rear it's ugly little head now and then. Guilt loves to tell me that I should tell you more about my kids and my daily life and document every event, birthday, holiday and parking ticket. But I am ultimately selfish and I want to incessantly talk about me! I want to tell you all about all the weird meanderings of my mind. I want to tell you my dreams. I want to tell the world, through your pages, who I am and what my life is. I want to write in code when I am hurt so no one need know the why and how, but you and me. I want to send messages of love and hope and joy into moments that I don't even know exist yet, because they haven't been read yet by the one who gleans the joy.
When your life started, I had no idea what we would become. And I think I still have no idea of the evolution of your creation. We are going big, Blog. We're going to be something. You are special, and that's why you're here. Because I love you.

Dear Clancy's Blog,
Thank goodness you exist, or I wouldn't be able to "know" Clancy. Yes, I know I met her briefly for one short night, but you BLog, you serve as a window into her life for me. And you know what? She is a riot! Now you both need to meet Kat, Lula, Jennifer P., and all the other hilarious blog friends I "know" but only in my computer. Because I am certain their blogs would love you too. Happy 250th!

Clancy, I loved them then and I love them now. Your words are such a beautiful expression of the beautiful person that you are.
I LOVE it! So true, for me too! In fact, reading your little love letter makes me feel like I could be more selfish than I already am and that it would be okay. Thanks! :)
Hey! Happy 250th post! I wish you many more!
You burned your hand? Yikes!
Happy milestone!
You make me happy, Clancy!
