And wow what a ride.
Thanks so much all the lovely people who have given me help, guidance and support along the way.
When I joined this site a year ago I have already spent a year looking for opportunities that would enable me to earn money while being at home for my children.
I hoped I would find success at HubPages but had no idea that it would be the start of a whole new career for me.
Much love to all you wonderful Hubbers, and of course the mighty HubPages staff, it has been, and still is, totally brilliant.
Congratulations on your first year and especially on discovering a whole new career - I hope it continues to go from strength to strength for you.
Let the next 12 months be even better.
Congratulations - hope you earn enough to enable you to be a stay-at-home Mom until your children leave home
Hi Spacey- I got my one year badge last week!
wow it does change your life does it not!
looking forward to another year , at least we both made it this far!
well done to both of us!
Thanks all - CW if we have made it this far we are definitely in it for the long haul.
Laura - I hope it works out like that because now I have had a taste of freedom I never want to go back to working for someone else again.
Over 300 hubs -- looks like it was a very productive year for you, Spacey, congrats!
Congrats, Spacey! I've just passed 2 years here myself!
I'm feeling fine Randy. And, my situation hasn't changed, but it doesn't always have control over my mood.
I figured as much, Ray! Adversity keeps one on one's toes. The alternative is being flat on one's ass! Peaks and valleys, of a sort. But it could be worse, couldn't it?
Yeah, it could be worse, I could wallow in my depressive state and let it just simply take my life, which was what was being considered. However, it's a battle I usually win.
Staying in the game is the thing, Ray. Not using up all of your time outs is the secret!
Wow! You have more than twice my hubs and I've been here for almost two years .
Here's to another year and another 300 hubs. Congrats!
Congrats, Spacey, stay in the game, it gets better with age.

OK, it was only an old bloke sitting with his wife outside Priceline in the local shopping centre. I smiled at him and his good lady as I passed, and he asked.... "Don't you write about cars on the Internet?""Yes I do" I beamed." I read your article on the BMW 5 series...

Last August, I joined HubPages, thinking it would be an "easy" way to make some extra money. Boy, was I wrong, but it's been an interesting ride, anyway.I'm not the most prolific Hubber or even close to being the most successful, but for a "Hubber Hobbyist," I'm happy with the...
