“These Days Of Mine” is celebrating its fifteen year anniversary today. Wow, fifteen years.
From the moment I had the first inklings of beginning a blog, I knew what I wanted the subject of the first post to be. If you’d like to read (or reread) that, you can click here.
Although I could never pick a favorite, for sure, one of them would be this post.
And another contender is this one.
At one point, some of my posts would have nearly 50 comments, now a good day will have maybe five. Many of the bloggers that began around the same time I did are no longer blogging, so that accounts for some of the decrease. Over these fifteen years, I’ve also lost family members and friends who followed and commented.
Making online friends through blogging has been a highlight. And I’ve reconnected with some long lost relatives (and one I didn’t previously know) through the posts about Bacon’s Castle.
Many of the memes that I participated in are no longer, but I do enjoy the Poetic Thursday posts, joining my dear friend, Pam, at Two Spoiled Cats. Blogging brought us together, and she’s among my dearest friends.
When I began, I was blogging seven days a week, now I’m down to two. How much longer will I blog? Well, I obviously don’t do it for the comments, so I guess at this point, it’s mostly just for me.
But every once in a while, I’ll have a pleasant surprise when someone mentions the blog, and I had no idea they were a follower. That happened a few days ago when my nephew mentioned in a text that he reads my blog. (Hi, John!)
Thanks to those of you who’ve been here from the beginning, as well as to those who’ve joined along the way. And always to my two guys who read every post.
