Blogaversary!

Last Friday marked a special date for this little blog of mine. January 6, 2009 I wrote my very first post. Which means, last Friday hit three years of me writing posts here. As I predicted there, it would be an interesting recap for me to look over come 2010. And has also done so in 2011 and 2012. At the start of each month I go back and look at what happened in that month in '09, '10 and '11. It's really interesting to go back and remember what was happening at that time one, two and three years ago.

It hasn't changed much. It hasn't exploded with readership. It's not a money maker. I'm certain I break a number of "rules" professional bloggers live by on a daily basis. But it lives just as it was intended to in its creation three years ago. A place to put my thoughts, document my life, remind me of the little details, the ins and outs of the hours of the days that some how wind up making an entire year of time that has passed. Friends keep updated on my life, strangers learn about me, mom hears a written version of the stories I've already told. It served and continues to serve exactly the purpose I wanted it to. Entertainment and remembering what the hell happened in my life. Even in the posts where I'd probably rather forget something that happened, it has helped to remind me where I was and how far I've come.

So thanks, dear readers, for making me feel like I tell an entertaining story, coming back from time to time to see what is happening in my life, and for letting me tell you about my life!

And Happy Blogaversary It is what it is.
