Last week, I published my 500th post. I’m struck by how large this number sounds and by how the journey was not about overwhelm, but enjoying every moment. 500 times of sitting down at my laptop, writing about something that mattered to me.  500 times of feeling the satisfaction of articulating whatever is rolling around in my head and sharing it with others. 500 times of making meaning of what I’m noticing or experiencing in life.

Thanks to many of you who have been reading this blog since I started in 2005. Thanks to many of you who joined me along the way.

• We’re All Bozos on the Bus. If you are feeling envious of your friends or just a bit sorry for yourself, this post will make being human a little easier.
