365project, it's a roller-coaster ride!

365 / 365
Well, this is my final photo of my second year...
I have so much to say!

First of all, what a year it was! It was harder than the first year, it felt very hard that I wasn't here all the time to give back all the wonderful comments. And sometimes I felt like giving up and I needed some breaks. But now I'm really happy (and a bit proud) that I continued. I look back and realise I made some wonderful photo's and made a lot of wonderful friends here. And that makes me so happy!

I think this last collage says it all, it's a roller-coaster of emotions to do such a project. I had to do a selfie as my final picture, because, well, selfies were a big part of my project here. I hosted the "Me every week - challenge" here for 52 weeks. It was a great challenge and I was always happy to see how much talent there is here on this site.

And because I'm due to forget some names, I will thank you all. Thank you, my dear friend, you gave me strength to cope with stuff, you prayed for me, you said something kind about my photo, you made me laugh, you were patient with me, you showed me your wonderful live through your pictures, you inspired me, you kept coming back to my project. I love you! I will remember you!
Comments
Awwww...let me be the first to say.....love this! I shall fave it so I can keep it....to remember you, to remember we are not alone out there, someone to share with. Hope you'll be calling in sometime, I couldn't leave this wonderful place behind! Thanks for all your inspiration and your friendship, good luck for the future...I shall remember you too. xx

How sad to see the last of your photos, Geertje. I'm faving this so I have a collection of little Geertjes to cheer me up and inspire me as I move through my project during this third year. It will not be the same without your great shots popping up on my dashboard. Love and best wishes in everything you do.

Friendship is permanent even we do not hear from each other for years but we can communicate just as we could have seen yesterday - you are always in my heart Geertje, one of my daughters. Love you.

Just popped on to your site and am sorry I missed your shots - they all look good. Maybe some more when you feel its right?

Jammer dat je stopt...wie weet tot ziens!
posted February 12th, 2013  
A shame you're leaving, just as I'm starting. I've seen many of your photos through my sister's project - yes, a voyeur...I can tell you've touched people across the world. That is special. (oh, fav)

First of all you are beautiful and I love your farewell collage, however , I am saddened that you are leaving, I enjoyed your photos and comments, you were always thinking outside the box with you shots. I will miss you, and with that I fave this great parting collage
posted February 12th, 2013  
Congratulations on two years Geertje, that is such an accomplishment! Maybe after a year away you will feel like coming back, I hope so! I am coming to Amsterdam later this year so I will get a glimpse of your beautiful country!
posted February 12th, 2013  
Oops, meant to say Fav! I love this collage of all your different faces :-)
posted February 12th, 2013  
I will miss your pictures and your comments. This is a great collage with which to tell all your friends and followers farewell. I hope you continue to find pleasure in your camera, and perhaps you will drop in on 365 from time to time.
posted February 12th, 2013  
Congratulations !!! Your photography is wonderful! It has been a real pleasure sharing photos and chatting. Wish you all the best :-)
posted February 12th, 2013  
a beautiful collage of self-portraits, and a wonderful way to close out year two! It has been such a pleasure these past couple of years - to watch your photography grow, to be inspired by you, to be encouraged by your words and photographs. Christ's light shows through you and what you have done :) May He continue to bless you on your life journey! and thankfully, there is still FB!
posted February 12th, 2013  
I too am finding the second year harder, but glad you came back and sometimes you don't realize its others that will miss you and your work. You inspire me with ideas to try, so I hope you stay around
posted February 12th, 2013  
Congrats on the end of your 2nd year.
posted February 12th, 2013  
Well we will all miss you Geertje. Continue on your photographic journey and stop back from time to time. This is a wonderful collage to end your second year. Wishing you the best and good health. Take care.

I join with many others in congratulating you on finishing year #2. I know how monumental that feels! As with so many others your photos always brought me great pleasure to see and also inspired me to dream what I might be able to do with a better camera someday. But I also enjoyed seeing the beautiful things you would spot on your walks and truly understood the struggles and times when you had to push through whatever life tossed at you- overcoming the obstacle of pain is also a monumental task! I hope you will look me up on FB although I'm not on there as much as I'm but at least I'd see you once in a while! As always you've outdone yourself with another creative selfie! And I will also fav it to remember you. You will always be in my prayers and never far from my heart. God bless you always!

Congratulations Geertjie, I've loved following your project. I do hope to see you back on when you feel like it. Take care, my friend.
posted February 13th, 2013  
Awww, sad to see you go :o( I started following you when you were doing the 'me every week ' and even though I didn't interact with it a great deal it really gave me a push to take selfies...incidentally it also gave me my current profile pic. You've had such a wonderful album but I'm sad that I wasn't able to keep up with you so much during your second year. I hope you'll return some time and I hope when you do you'll see if I'm still here. I'm fav'ing this so I have a record of your lovely face/faces :o) Congrats on completing year two. I know it's been tough for you at times but I wish you lots of luck for the future. Hugs xx

Congratulations on finishing your second year! Lovely collage to end with! Thank you for all the inspiration you gave by running the Me Every Week challenge, it was so much fun to participate in! Hope to see you again once you realise how much you miss this crazy roller coaster ride :) xx

Congrats on finishing year two! I find it so hard to keep up here but when I visit you, I always have a memorable experience! You have so much talent! Don't let your camera rest for too long! Hope to see you stop by every once in a while! Good luck out there, Geertjie!

Congratulations on completing year two!! It has been a roller coaster for me this year too (I think I posted about 50% of the time). Lovely final shot and great choice to do a selfie. Thanks for everything you have done for the me every week challenge. That was the first challenge I ever won on the site and was so excited. I hope that you will stop in to visit us from time to time. We will definitely miss you. Fav.
