Six years.
Yes, I’ve been blogging for longer than many of you have
been alive (can I help it if my blog is really popular with the
pre-Kindergarten crowd?).
You’ve seen me at my best, at my worst and… ummm… at my most
middle.
You’ve seen me crow about my accomplishments.
You’ve seen me sulk about my setbacks.
Up in the clouds.
Down in the dumps.
You’ve excused my bad behavior and even worse jokes.
You’ve encouraged me to keep at it even when I’d rather
throw in the not-sweated-on towel.
Your good advice has often kept me from going astray (how
was I supposed to know that participating in a hot-dog-eating contest would
make me gain weight?).
The blogging landscape has undergone quite a change since I
started oh-so-long ago. Folks are more spread out, drawn to the twinkly lights
of easier-to-digest media platforms.
But I’m pretty proud of the fact that I’m still here,
plugging away.
And if I help just one person take one step closer to their
healthy living goals, well… YES, THAT’S A PRETTY SUCKY RETURN ON MY TIME AND
EFFORT.
But I’ll keep doing it anyway.
Congrats on the Milestone! I originally found your blog sometime around December 2009. Keep plugging away, I enjoy what you put out there.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Jack! I turned 6 this past January. Whew! I can't believe it's been that long. Yes, the blogging landscape has changed so much, but I hear 50 years is the magic number so let's keep going????????
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogging Birthday Jack. Happy to have crossed paths in the blogosphere with ya.
ReplyDeleteWow man that's impressive! Six years in blogging years, you are a great-great-grandfather! No wonder the pre-Kindergarten follows you.
