A is for Aardvark!
Or A could stand for Anniversary. Either way, both will work.
If you're wondering if I've gone bonkers, mmm, not yet, but really not. It's the first day of the A to Z Blogging Challenge! And it also happens to be my 1st Blog Anniversary!
1 YEAR PEOPLE! I've had this blog up for one whole freaking year!
And it's not dead yet. :)

So, aardvark, you say? This strange little dude happens to be the first word in the dictionary (ok, according to some, that's debatable since "A" can be a word. But where's the fun in A as in A, right? Aardvarks are way cooler!) Aardvarks, therefore, represent THE BEGINNING.
A = Aardvark = First word = Beginning = First Blogiversary (See the logic in that? Booyah!)
When I started blogging, I was all weak-kneed and gangly, pushing black-rimmed glasses up my nose, with sweaty hands and barely able to mutter a comprehensible hello to the other
I'm sure this story is like countless others. After all, we were not made to be alone. We thrive on making connections with other human beings just like ourselves. And when we do find these people--the kind who can laugh and smile with us, and hold our hands through hard times--we become eternally grateful. Blogging is not about being popular, or being cool, or getting 10 million hits a day. Blogging is sharing. Blogging is connecting to people we would otherwise never find on our own because of demographic and geographic factors.
So! I'm thankful for the aardvarks in my life. Here's to a wonderfully fascinating and fulfilling first blogging year! Cheers!

Congratulations on your one-year anniversary! :) And I like the word aardvark; the only reason I can spell it is from the Arthur episode where he learns to spell it. :)
Happy Blog Anniversary! This was such a lovely post, it was so nice to hear your story :) "a is for a" made me smile! Aardvarks are so cool, they look as bizarre as their name does!
