If I never said thank you to my Readers and Naija Bloggers, today I am saying thank you. This is not a parting message, fear not. This is a renewed commitment to blogging, by the Grace of God.
I was introduced to blogging by a Naija blogger. From here, my story begins:
In this blogville, I have made great friends
In this blogville, I have been inspired
In this blogville, I have been encouraged
In this blogville, I have been consoled
In this blogville, I have rolled on the floor laughing, even when circumstances around did not call for happiness
In this blogville, I have known talent
In this blogville, I have learnt new words
In this blogville, I have read words of wisdom
In this blogville, I have learned to improve my relationships
In this blogville, I have realized I am not alone in my pain and fears
In this blogville, I have learnt to be optimistic about life
In this blogville, I have had a virtual loving family
In this blogville, I have learnt that the time to show love is now
In this blogville, I have known more about God.
Many of you do not know how positively your posts and comments have impacted my life. Words are not enough to describe it.
I do not know what blogville has done for you but it has done so much for me.
If you think blogville has done anything for you, now is an opportunity to appreciate those bloggers who have made your day, those bloggers who have inspired you, those bloggers who contributed to your knowledge…the list is endless.

The preacher said, after his long talk on A Time For Everything, “What do people really get for all their hard work?” [Ecclesiastics 3:9].
May we not respond to the above question with “Nothing”. Let us appreciate our bloggers. Let them get our support, love and nominations for all their hard work.
Have a blessed week ahead.

Rita, you're really one of the bloggers I love. And I voted for you. Feel free to interpret this as pressure for you to vote me in all categories. Hehehe.
Walahi, I do love your blog.
"The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he [or she] that watereth shall be watered also himself" or herself; Prov 11: 25. Keep watering!

Hi Rita! Saw your comment on PPrazzi... Thanks!
I do love blogville too (though I never told you guys). Sometimes I feel the love is wasted though but anyways I'm learning to stick with the best, roll with the regulars and encourage the new.

In case I forget to say it again: I LOVE BLOGVILLE!!!!
