Can it be FIVE YEARS???

Posted on by

Out of curiosity, I scrolled down through my archives to see when I started blogging. In 20 days, I will have had a blog for FIVE YEARS! It’s really hard to believe I’ve been on-line that long.
A friend from the Red Hatters once likened my blog to the diary which Samuel Pepys kept. We both cover the minutia of our lives. On rare occasions, I get on the soap box, but for the most part, this is a journal of my days.
Today as I browsed through my friend’s blogs, I discovered that one was writing about the prevention of dissemination of information about contraception and abortion, another was writing about her family honoring those lost in World War II. Another of my blogging friends spends her days working for Blogher, and so on, and so on, and so on. Nothing earthshaking is happening on my blog, but these ladies are clearly interested in what’s going on around them, and not afraid to discuss it.
I may be a little jealous of their wider horizons, but there’s nothing keeping me from following their lead. Sooner or later, I’ll get there. Until then, you can continue to expect to see me whining about weeding, and complaining about poison ivy, kvetching about the lack of time to quilt, and carping about the demands of the house and office.
When it gets old, tell me to lighten up! ( And I’ll just go off and sulk for a bit. *G*).

  1. You must be doing something right, Buffy, or we wouldn’t hang in there with you. Perhaps you are the counterbalance! Love ya!

  3. Whoops! I forgot to congratulate you on five years of making postings. Well done!!! ; )

  5. Five Years? You’re an old pro at this blogging thing, aren’t you Buffy? You beat me by more than two years. I’ll tell you one thing…..I’m grateful for the day I came upon your blog. I love your voice….your humor….and your heart. I can’t imagine not stopping by to read what you have to say….and to chat. You are a beautiful soul Buffy. Congratulations on your five years….and I look forward to many more years of your friendship….. Love, Joy

  6. I don’t know about the “pro” part, Joy. Without ~T~ hosting me and taking care of all the templates and technical “stuff” I don’t know if I’d be a blogger. It’s interesting to look to the right and see how many posts I have per month. Sometimes I have a lot to say, and other times there’s not a thought in my head.
    You write the most beautiful notes. You clearly love people and love to be involved with their lives. I’m very fortunate to have found your blog, and to be able to call you my friend.
    Stay warm! I hear Spring is on it’s way this week! *S*

  8. Thank you, Pattie! Amazing, isn’t it? I’m so glad I’ve found friends like you!
