Hello Bumby here. Some of you will have noticed that my very first post resurfaced . This was done because 60 days ago I launched The Preppy Chronicles . As you all know this blog is to be about celebrating life.
I am celebrating the Birthday of The Preppy Chronicles.
Three months ago if you had said..Bumby you will be blogging and enjoying it . I would have laughed but here we are.
A heart-felt Thank You goes out to all that have stopped by. Thank you for reading, commenting and following.
I must confess that when I started this little adventure I had three fears.
- I would have nothing to say that would be worth reading.
- That I would have too much to say, that still would not be worth reading
- That I would do a good job and that still no one will read it, or that you would read it and I would run out of things to say that were worth reading.
But I put my faith in you and I have been overwhelmed with acceptance and kindness. You have opened your hearts and welcomed me with open arms. THANK YOU.
Many of you will notice that my Blog roll is small. I have purposely done this. The reason is a simple one, lack of space. I also find that when I see more than five or ten at a time I tend to lose track of the ones that I have visited. To remedy this problem, I have my complete roll over on my sister site.. The Preppy Chronicles II. My sister site is for all of us WASPs and Preppys to post stories, poems. Kind of a WASP and Preppy creative community board, on my dime ( bandwidth). A gift from me to you. In the next days and weeks I hope to be able to share some of your creative thoughts ( links, ect.)
I look forward to getting to know you better. I will leave you with a little Robert Frost.
Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening:
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill with snow.
The woods are lovely and deep.
but I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
Always Bumby Scott
Another wonderful post Bumby, you captured perfectly some of the anxieties plaguing most of us as we contemplated launching such an endeavor.
The Frost is classic, ideal for tonight’s nippy temps.
I’m with the Preppy Princess in applauding and thanking you for summarizing the feelings so many of us share when stepping out into the bloggy universe. And what a wonderful feeling we all have when we find that we are not as alone as Frost’s winter wanderer.
Thank you for your comment on my guest post at IslandRoar. I enjoyed my visit to your blog.
Happy bloggy birthday, Bumby! I think we all fear the same things about blogging. I didn’t even know what a blog was until I googled something about monogramming and found preppy blogville. It always amazes me how frequently I retell stories and refer the blog pals as “friends” and really mean it.
