It has been exactly 1 year and 5 days since this blog, Green Flamingo was born. To me it is like a birthday, and I hope that Green Flamingo will have many more birthdays.
I have done some things to celebrate this event, because just like many others I will celebrate for birthdays.
First I have changed my theme back to what is was, what is was a year ago. I still love the theme, and I love my blog, so I seem to be crawling back into the state of mind I was in last year, though I have still expanded and I have learned the true ways of blogging through my year of experience.
I also am going to reflect on this blog, looking back on it. From my perspective right now, I have grown with this blog and it has grown with me, and together we have overcome hardships and rejoiced through progress. I remember a year ago my circumstances, my being, how I lived, how I was. I look back upon this to reflect who I was and who this blog was, and I am proud yet sad of the change that has passed.
Lastly I have decided to hold a little “contest,” though it is not of the normal sort as you will find now on about every blog in the blogosphere. I will tell people about my contest, though I will not exactly promote it, neither will any of the objectives to win include you promoting this blog.
It is called Green Flamingo’s Celebration Of Themes contest. Details will follow, and it is easy to participate in. As far as prizes go, I will give out small prizes, though I am not going to announce anything before hand. I hope that the winner of our celebration enjoys being honored too.
So, for one week we will celebrate the birthday of Green Flamingo, though we may carry the contest a little farther. I hope that you can look deeply into this blog to see why it is still up and running after a year.
So just stay tuned, there is no need to put on anything special, though try as much celebrating as you can. Believe it or not, everything has already started, and the contest begins right now!
Good night everyone, and I hope to see you in the near future.

Interesting you reverted back to your old theme. Don’t you know people prefer to read things with a white background???
Anyway I like your blog and congratulations on one year and 5 days

It is easier to read things on a white background I agree. But, I think I will stick with this for about a week.
I am going through all my old posts, pretty interesting actually. Now I have some good stuff to talk about tomorrow.
By the way, for a fast response, try to remember you have 5 points so far in the contest. It is all about celebration.:)
That counts!

Thank you everyone! I appreciate your comments!
Sorry I have not gotten around to updating you more, the time will come. I am trying to get hooked up on some good designs for this blog, someone to modify this theme too. If you know of anyone be happy to introduce me.
