Here's To Many More

Today is my ten year blogging anniversary! How did that happen?

If you're new here, the backstory is that shortly before my 49th birthday in 1998 I heard a radio story that made me want to celebrate entering the next decade of my life. I started a "new thing a day" project, and instead of being apprehensive about turning the big 5-0 I embraced it. And had a lot of fun along the way.

Since then I have posted 2,419 times (373 on the original blog and 2046 here). Thanks to blogging I have virtual friends in several countries. While documenting my life I've greatly improved my computer skills and learned a little bit about innumerable random topics.

It's been a lot of fun, and I look forward to many more years.

    I remember your first blog. That's how I found you. Last November was my 10th blogoversary. I used to make note of the date, but have since just let it pass, unannounced. I have no idea how long this will continue, but I just keep pecking away over here on the left coast, telling the stories of my days.

      I usually don't stop to commemorate my anniversary, but this was kind of a milestone one. It's interesting that you started just a couple of months before I did; I remember thinking that you were quite the expert when I started following you.

    Gosh! I totally forgot about the blogaversary. This will be my 10th year also. I can celebrate it on March 1st since it isn't leap year which is when I started. How funny that we all started around the same time. Congratulations! I'm so glad I met you all those years ago.

      It IS interesting that so many long-lived blogs started at about the same time.

      You're yet ANOTHER example of a blog that's been around for a long time!

      Thanks. Lately I think I should be posting more, but it is what it is.
