The BIG 100!!!!

In honor of this being the 100th blog post for Salter Seasons, I composed a little list below to share with you about this past season...



  100 things I Have Learned Since Beginning to Blog
  1. The average reader enjoys short, sweet, and to the point posts.  For this reason how about we make this a top 20 list?  I just wanted to use a catchy title.
  2. Sharing what God is teaching us and showing us has proved to be a true encouragement to others and a wonderful reminder for us as well.
  3. I have developed some mad skill when it comes to speed typing.
  4. Our slloooww internet here is quite the patience tester.  This allows me to become a little more sanctified everytime I upload a picture for the blog.
  5. My Momaw Peggy is a dedicated blog follower, thank you for all your comments.
  6. Pictures make everything look better and are great reminders when skimming over older posts.
  7. I have found it to be quite "therapeutic" to blog.  Thanks for being such a good listener.
  8. I am AMAZED by the e-mails I have received that begin, "You don't know me, but I follow your blog..." (Note, this is not in a creepy way. It's people we know through other people, etc. Don't worry dad.)
  9. I wish on a regular basis that EVERY friend and family member of mine would enter the blogging world too! 
  10. I enjoy reading blogs just as much as I enjoy writing them.
  11. Sometimes, well quite often, I am much funnier in my head than I am when I try to write it out.
  12. I do not like to use commas!  Thank you, editor Trey, for keeping me on my toes ;)
  13. Throughout the past several months there have been many moments where I have caught myself thinking in terms of blog posts.
  14. It is truly a blessing to "network" and be able to make connections with others through the use of our blog.
  15. I am encouraged when I am able to share about what the Lord is doing in Haiti as well as in our personal lives knowing it is providing an upclose account for many of you to life in another country.
  16. CONSISTENCY is difficult!  Hints my miscellaneous posting days (sorry for all of you "scheduled" individuals.  I'm trying I promise.)
  17. When the urge to write hits, I better stop and just do it because it can be quite difficult to find good moments to write, I must simply TAKE moments to write.
  18. Posting for THE WORLD to see, definitely makes me think twice about my words.
  19. I sometimes worry about what will happen when the day hits that I have nothing to say.  Trey quickly reminds me of the fact that I ALWAYS have something to say.
  20. I am thankful for my family and friends who take the time to keep up with where we are.  Blogging would be pointless if it was not keeping me in touch with others.

  1. Yes, I am a dedicated commenter ( is that a word ?) I feel very connected to you & Trey & to your work. Know that many people read you. Some just don't take time to comment. I loved the picture of the book and the quill. that would have been the way Lottie Moon & Annie Armstrong blogged. Praise God for technology. Love you, Mommaw Peggy

  2. Great tips... Makes me wish I had written this. :) But, then again, I've been REALLY bad about blogging lately.
