That was the date I started this blog.
I'd been reading other people's blogs for some time before I decided to take the plunge. Many of my favourite blogs from those days have disappeared - Frugal Queen (I watch her videos on YouTube now), Mama's Mercantile, Baroness Prudent Spending, $12 a day to name a few. I think the blog I have been reading longest is Tracing Rainbows, where the incredible Ang writes a post EVERY day!
I've met a few bloggers: Ang as mentioned above, Elizabeth from Small Moments, Flis from An Englishwoman and her Dog, and several others who are no longer blogging. I've had correspondence both email and snail mail with bloggers all over the world.
I've never done a post every day except sometimes in December. My lowest annual post count was 38 and my highest 149. I've shared my hopes and dreams, my friendships and my struggles with disability, my delight in little things and my musings about life in general.
So now I'll start my twelfth year of blogging. If I can think of things to write about.
2014 was a memorable year for me . My husband had a serious stroke in November and our lives changed drastically. At the time I wrote a blog to keep our friends and family updated. I stopped writing the blog but continued to read other people’s posts and I am thankful to all of them who continue to write and add interest to my life.
