18 years

Eighteen years ago I began this blog in response to a difficult time for our community website. It just wasn't able to keep up with postings that showed the everyday news from the community. So I tried to share it, always saying to myself, "If a visitor was here this week, what would they see/experience?"

It wasn't too long, about 3 years, that the website got on its feet, but I continued to share through the blog, more my own meandering through the life rather than the community's as a whole. 

The name came from our gorgeous chapel stained-glass windows, which is the background of everything we see whenever we're in the chapel. 

I think that an 18-year run is pretty good for something that I thought would be temporary. And I think it served its purpose back in 2007. Hopefully since then I've been able to share some of our life with you--both in front of and behind the scenes! So today's post ends Light Through Stained Glass Windows with the sharing of my favorite--what else--stained glass window photos here at Mount St. Benedict Monastery.

Great thanks to all the readers, especially if there are any who have been around for all those years. A special shout out to some of my first cousins who have been so faithful in following "their cousin the nun" and who have, probably more than they realize, a pretty good daily knowledge of the life. 

So, I'll just be seeing you in person now, not in the digital world! Thanks for coming by and I hope you enjoyed all the posts, I certainly enjoyed sharing them with you.
