Today is my twelve year blogiversary! Aww, my blog is almost a teenager. Although with how little I post now, it seems my blog is already going through the withdrawn angsty teen years. Ha.
The best thing about blogging is the connections you make, so thank you, readers! And thank you to the many of you that are “real-life” friends now.
And while I am posting less, I don’t plan to stop anytime soon. Just waiting for the itch to write more again!
Hi! I’m Kim, a 40-something-year-old living in northeastern Illinois with my husband Steven, and our cats, Khaleesi, Apollo, Starbuck, and Eddard aka Ned. My current main hobbies are running, painting rocks, flying, reading, and eating. I follow a vegan lifestyle and am employed by the federal government. I write about a variety of topics and consider this a “life” blog – a place I can share anything that’s on my mind. Please visit the “About” page to get a better idea of who I am! 🙂
Congrats on 12! That’s an impressive commitment! And no need to worry about dry spells. I’d rather a blogger take time to live life than make up boring posts for the sake of numbers.
I’m amused by your image for this post too.
Thank you! 🙂 And yeah, I prefer that too (taking a break rather than writing just to write). Although I do miss writing more!
Ha ha ha, thanks 😉
Happy blogversary, Kim! You’ve given me many smiles over the years.
Aww, thank you!!!
Wow, 12 years?? Did blogs even exist back then? I think you are the grandma of blogland, LOL. And FWIW, no worries on posting less – you are always worth the read. 🙂
Ha ha ha! They sure did! I was inspired to start mine because of some I found that had been around for awhile back then! Grandma LOLOLOLOL
Thank you 🙂
How are you, one of the most consistent bloggers I know, blogging less?
Happy 12 years. I missed mine.
Two-three times a week feels low to me! 🙂
Thanks! They’re easy to miss, right?!
Happy 12 years!!! I started some kind of blog in either late 2005 or early 2006, so you’ve got me beat (and we won’t even talk about consistency – I’ve moved around a lot!).
I always love reading your posts, no matter how frequent. Especially now that I don’t get to see and talk to you a few times a week :'(
Thanks 🙂 I think that is common for journal type blogs – we use them when we need them!
And thank you! I love reading your posts for the same reason :-*
Happy 12 years – love the pic!
I don’t really have the itch to write much right now, but I do like to keep up with my connections 🙂
Thank you!
Same! And it’s good we all keep up in multiple ways and not just on our blogs!
That’s amazing! I feel that so many of the bloggers that I used to read avidly have dropped off, which makes me sad – I like reading blogs! Wishing you 12 more years of excellent content.
It makes me sad, too! I look back at who I used to read years ago and almost no one is left!
Thank you! 🙂
This is a way belated blog anniversary wish. 12 years is awesome. I like that you still blog. And you are right, the best thing is the connections made with so many other cool people who I happily call friends.
Thanks! I am happy you still do, too! Sometimes I look at old posts and see comments from people who’ve just disappeared! 🙁
