My 100th Post & Hide and Seek With Sina

I forgot to ask my blogger friends if this was a significant thing, like an 18th birthday or something, because it certainly feels special to me! Well, it isn’t really my 100th post, because one time by mistake I deleted a bunch of things I had written in December and January, and couldn’t retrieve them! But I celebrate anyway. I want to thank Mehran, Leva, and Jahanshah for helping me find the courage to let others come see my blog. I was writing but I never gave anyone the address to come see me! I was what I called a “Blogger Makhfi” for a while there! Having a blog has been one of the better things I have done in my life, I think. To celebrate it, I want to tell you about a blog I absolutely love to visit. It is called Mrs. Shin’s Diaries http://mrsshin.blogspot.com/ . Mrs. Shin is a young woman who lives with her husband and their 18-month old toddler in Tehran. She is an artist, a writer, a very creative young woman, and a thriving mother in the midst. It is so refreshing to read the way she handles and balances her child, her marriage, her career, her ambitions and her hopes. Her son, Sina, is at the core of most of her posts, and that always tugs at my heart, reminding me of the time my sons were so young. Yesterday she had a post about playing Hide and Seek with her son. This picture simply melted my heart! I just sat there looking at it for the longest time, wanting to open those closet doors to look at the sweet owner of those cute red-socked feet! Take a look and enjoy it as I did. Here’s a link to that post: http://mrsshin.blogspot.com/2007/05/blog-post_08.html
