Four Years of Bringing You A Whole Bag of Nothing

4BONBirthdayScreenShotBONV001

Four years ago tomorrow I launched this little website.  In those four years I have been lucky enough to have gained some friends, even if it’s only by virtual acquaintance.  Hopefully I’ve done more to bring you joy and make you ponder than to make you full of anger.  Sorry for that little rhyme.

But I do want to take a little time to thank all of you for making me a little part of your day.  Some of you have expressed to me you start your day off with a little BagOfNothing, and knowing that actually warms my heart.

Tomorrow also happens to be my mother’s birthday, and you long-time readers know that in her honor, I don’t post anything and encourage all of you to do one of the things my mother loved best – read.  So please find some time today or tomorrow to crack open a book or a magazine, and honor my mother by reading at least for 15 minutes.

But today also happens to be Friday.  And whenever I make a Ticked Off Tuesday post, I will make a Happy Friday post.  So if you feel like it, tell me something that is presently making you happy.

And if you can’t think of anything that makes you happy, feel free to write a haiku about BagOfNothing.com.

    It makes me happy that today is Friday!

    It makes me happy you honor your mother's memory in so many ways.

    and by the way, I meant to comment the other day…but it took me forever to figure out what that picture was the other day (the ducks on the back) until i put my cursor over the picture and saw the name of the picture…i felt so silly!

    Every year you do this it reminds me of my mother too. Her favorite past time was reading, and she handed that down to me. For years, we would buy different books and trade them back and forth with each other. Mom has been gone since March of 05, and still, every time I go to half price books, I will catch myself thinking "I wonder if mom has this one yet?"

    Thanks for putting in the effort to make BoN a great blog. A great place to find stories and pictures that I would never had known otherwise.

  22. dan says:

    All I can do is echo what everyone else has said about the comfort of going to BON first thing in the morning and finding so many unusual stories, pictures, videos and interesting tidbits. Most of what I read in BON is days ahead of the mainstream news. Very well done and I too look forward to four more years. Thanks for all the effort, Keith!
