Post #700
February 19, 2010 by Lillie
This is the 700th display of brilliance, eloquence, wisdom, originality, sagacity … uh, ah … I mean, the 700th post on this blog.
Thank you for visiting and reading and commenting on the posts, even if they aren’t brilliant, eloquent, wise, original, or sagacious.


























The posts are MOSTLY brilliant, eloquent, wise, original, or sagacious…… uh, ah … FUNNY TOO!
Move on to 701…702…
Ron,
OK, now, which posts aren’t brilliant, eloquent, wise, original, or sagacious…… ?
Seriously, I’d be delighted if anyone thinks a handful of my posts fall into any of those categories.
Congratulations. Great achievement.
(I am also quite there, just mere 650 posts behind!)

Chris,
The first 50 are the hardest.
Keep at it, and you’ll reach other blogging milestones.
LOL!! Congrats Lillie. May you write 700 more.

Thanks, Bluestocking.
Hurrayyyy… 700 incredible posts with lots of love, affection and social thoughts. Proud to be a follower of your blog. More wishes on 1000th one

Thank you for the good wishes, Alan, and thank you for being a loyal follower.
Congratulations on number 700. I have no idea how many I have created because I end up deleting most of them later.
Thanks, John. I’m sure you’ve written about a zillion, give or take. You’ve been at this a long time, and at various times you’ve been a prolific blogger. I don’t know why you would delete posts—yours are all great.
Congratulations on your 700th post! That’s an amazing achievement … I’m about 685 behind you, which I’m not terribly proud to say. You’ve shown a lot of dedication ( while making books, no less ) to go along with your erudition and eloquence.
Thanks, Forrest, but your blog posts include your beautiful photography so I know a lot more work goes into each one than into one of my posts.
I bet it’s about the same amount … my art is visual, yours is verbal. My guess is fighting “writers block” is every bit as challenging – if not moreso – than lugging a heavy tripod around.

Ah, but if I lugged a heavy tripod around, all I would end up with is a backache—not the beautiful pictures you end up with!
Congratulations!
Now if I can only emulate your ” display of brilliance, eloquence, wisdom, originality, sagacity” I will do well!

Dominique,
I’d be doing well if my posts actually displayed all those things.
Many congratulations Lillie! Your work is very inspirational!
Thank you, Alex.
Most people start off blogs with goodintentions but barely get past the 200 post mark so to hit 7oo is quite an achievement.
Well done!
Thanks, Tom. You can’t start out thinking in terms of hundreds (someday thousands) of posts. You have to think of one post at a time—just like recovering alcoholics have to think of one day of sobriety at a time.
Very happy for your achievement! I have SOOO far to go, but will not give up.
Came across your site today and will continue to follow since it appears we have the same interest in writing.
Congratulations!
Lisa

Thank you, Lisa. We all start with one post and keep going one post at a time.
