Today I am looking back to see that this is my blog anniversary weekend. I started my blog on August 5, 2006.
I've been writing this thing for 17 years. That's like birthing a kid. Sort of.
My blog is printed out by blog2print every six months or so. It takes up almost an entire shelf on my bookcase now. I do this so I will have it, because this has been free all of this time, and one day, it will not be, or it will cease to exist because blogging isn't a thing anymore.
Those blog books hopefully will end up with family. Or they may end up in the recycling when I am gone, who knows. But I print them up and have them bound for myself. So I can look at them occasionally and say, "See, I did that."
I may not be writing bestselling books, but I have written an awful lot of words.
My blog makes me happy, and even after all of these years, it can still challenge me because I try not to go for many days without writing something or posting a photo. I have to tend to it, nurture it, guard it.
After all, I've been writing here for almost 1/3 of my life!
l love this post! Happy blogoversary! I'll have to look into blog2print. Thanks for the tip.
