Per Dawn at 4:53 am, I'm posting the first line of the first post of each month of 2006. It's funny, because when I peruse some of the thousand or more posts I've written in my almost four years of blogging, I sometimes don't even recognize my own posts. I recognize the thoughts and agree with them, as I would agree with someone who has similar tastes and interests as I, but I often find myself reading my prior posts as if I were reading someone else's blog.
That's how I felt reading these first lines of the posts of my year. And I also felt like some of them couldn't have been that long ago. And some of them couldn't have been written that recently!
Wanna play along? Let Dawn know. Leave me a comment, too. I'd like to read your first lines!
January: "Bard's choral ensemble sang at a nearby community's First Night celebration on Saturday."
February: "I've been thinking a lot about friendship lately, and I was just wondering what the rest of the world thinks about friendship."
March: "I got this from Kate at The Tate School."
April: "We just had the most yummy lunch, and as we were eating, I was struck by the beauty of the scene, The Baby still in her pajamas eating cauliflower, my favorite earthenware bowls, tall glasses of raw milk, my healthy family all around me."
May: "I was so excited about my prospective employment at the greenhouse; to me, it was like a gift from God, an answer to prayer."
June: "I'm alive."
July: "Today, I am lying around decadently devouring books that I never get to read, dreaming about starting an herb-farm business, staring solemnly at the ceiling and pondering the wonder of God."
August: "On this day, when it's too hot to do much more than think--and even that's a challenge--I did something so totally wild and crazy that even I can't believe I did it."
September: "On Thursday, I saw an ad for an i-pod accessory that Bard has been wanting."
October: "My darling husband just pointed me to these illustrations by Deas."
November: "A couple of people asked me whose life I'd saved as a result of this post."
