Since 2009, I've posted this special meme, and I was determined to keep this fun, annual tradition in 2016. Created by Melwyk from The Indextrious Reader, A Year in First Lines is a once-a-year, end-of-year meme. The idea is simple yet brilliant. Take the first line of each month's first post over the past year and see what it tells you about your blogging year. This year, I'm posting on the very last day of the year! 😀

The first one should be extraordinary, or at least special in some way.

As you can see, I did not post every month this year. While I visited the blogs of others and left numerous comments throughout the year, I did not post as often as I have in the past. Oh, well! It's hard to fit everything in, isn't it? But, I enjoyed the posting I did do, which is important to me.
Please feel free to post your own First Lines from the year, which will create a unique sort of collage of your blog.
Wishing all of my readers a happy and healthy New Year! Your comments are appreciated. 😃
