I always like to drop in and see your posts and you have such a great way of looking at things and explaining different perspectives. I also enjoy your book posts!
I have questioned myself about why I blog and continue to do so, and have even written posts about it similar to you. For me it’s all about connection, the need to get things out of my head and hopefully bring a little cheer to others along the way. Thanks for all you do!

I love my blog and others’ for the connection we have in so many different places around the world: this was particularly important to me during covid times.

Congratulations on 18 years of blogging. I began blogging in 2009, so I have 17 years of blogging. This year the statistics on my little blog recorded over one million all time page views. That’s amazing to me, but my favorite thing about blogging is the community, and looking back over the comments on my blog that ladies have shared with me over these 17 years. It is truly a joy and a privilege. Many blessings to you!

My first post was 2009 so this idea of reviewing and finding theme then putting that next to our word of the year is genius! Thanks for the idea

I will be blogging 20 years soon. It has been a wonderful journey from when I lived in New York City in the begiining. and for the first five years of my blog, to moving to Colorado in 2013 to live close to our children and grandchildren. Through the years I have seen many bloggers come and go, but I felt touched by the time we spent communicating with each other and sharing our lives. Many have remained “friends” for all 20 years. I have felt enriched by blogging and hope to continue as long as I am able.

Your description of your NEED to write really speaks to me. I’m the same way. My brain goes so fast, and writing helps me sort through what I think. And I do think that our writing does shift, naturally, because life changes, we grow, etc. Happy to have found your blog. I always come away inspired (and with some excellent books to read, too)! Visiting from the Senior Salon Pit Stop link party.

I love how you took us on a journey down memory lane with your shifts in blogging & what you’ve learnt & cherished along the way.

I too have realised over the years that I’m a word gal, always have been since childhood & like you writing is special to me & is a way to process thoughts & feelings. How wonderful it is that we can share our writing with one another through the blogging community.
Blessings, Jennifer

That’s a real accomplishment. Blogging is a time-consuming activity so it takes real commitment to keep at it for as long as you have! Thanks!

The morning routine includes reading blogs & commenting as I am so moved. I read blogs for many of the reasons that bloggers blog – to learn & to teach; to encourage & entertain others; to connect; to document my story & validate the blogger. Thank you for what you do, Lisa.
