I saw forums about divorce, long term relationships, love, death, dying, etc.  In each and every forum there were people offering some great advice to people who were hurting, seeking, lost, confused and intrigued.  As I read through the postings I was amazed at the love people had for strangers.  Some of the posts were very moving.  The responses to those posts were equally as moving.  This made me think of the accountability blogs.

We are all strangers to one another yet we encourage each other on a daily basis.  We get involved in each other's lives.  We are a support system for each other.  Some of us do a better job than others, but the fact is that we support each other quite well.  I know I would not be still blogging 305 days later.  I would not be pushing myself as hard as I have.  This blog helped me to become consistent.  It has helped me to stick with the plan.  At this point it is a habit for me.  I could not imagine not posting my blog and my pictures each day.

It is thanks to the support from all of you that I have continued to do this.  I do it for the random people out there who might get encouraged by my posts.  Honestly, I don't advertise this blog to my friends, yet several of them have found it and read it religiously.  It is interesting to me because I am bluntly honest on this blog, so at times I wonder what my friends think about what I have to say.  I wonder if they can figure out what I am saying (when I leave things out on purpose).  Yes, I purposely leave out details from my life. I tell you all what you need to know and leave the rest to the imagination.  If you read my blog long enough you can figure out the entire story from what I write.  I give just enough information to truly figure out the entire story.  The observant ones figure it out (I know because I get emails about what I've written) and the rest, well you can just be happy with what you read.

I watched the end of the Olympics today.  I'm honestly not a huge fan of the Olympics, but some of what went on today was interesting to me.  The US men's volleyball team put together a nice win for the gold.  It was exciting to watch.

I learned today that some people never follow the rules.  The rules can be in black and white and they will still attempt to get around them.  I also learned that people do the craziest things.  Whenever your job entails dealing with people you never know what to expect.  People will make you laugh at the crazy things they do.
