How the Years Fly

 In all honestly, I never thought I would be here. Writing a blog was never on my list of things to do in life.  Books, stories, news articles, screenplays, the greatest novel ever written, yes, those were on my to do list for life, but never a blog. 

What in the world was a blog anyway? When I began this blog, June 28 2010, (by the way, thank you Blogger for showing me my very first blog so I knew the exact date of my venture into the Blogsphere!)

An online log of me, though I am totally stumped at where the 'B' comes into play. Someone who knows let me know.  A log of course is a recording of things in life, written down so posterity or absolutely no body reads it.  

I think it was made famous by  Jean Luc Picard on Star Trek Next Gen when he began every episode with Stardate...whatever... or wait, maybe it was Captain Kirk on the original Star Trek. Whoever it was, they got people thinking. I can do that, I can write down things about my day that absolutely NOBODY will ever want to read.  And then came this thing called the Internet and now even more people can ignore my writing...

But as I digress blogging... I was reminded of my own star date, 14 years ago when I began this blog, never dreaming I would be still writing it...over 476 entries later... 

I have to admit I was inspired, but have never lived up to the woman whose blogs and books I loved for 20 years. She is a knitter and humorist and honey if you didn't know yarn and knitting could be so very funny you need to find out!  She is still the only knitting humorist out there, believe me I have searched and even tried to knit and blog like her.   She was an inspiration to me with her constant blogging about knitting and life and got me going here. 

But since my knitting is rather tepid both in skill and frequency and I work at a church it seemed the better blogging material would be how I see life intertwined with faith.  Yes I blog all over the place from the seriously serious matters of faith life to why I burned supper so you don't notice the aroma of the cat's litter box.  Maybe I am a little irreverent, but I think that is life.  I simply cannot look at life without some humor in it.  That would be scary.

So happy blog anniversary to me coming up this June.  It's like I have raised a teenager,  fourteen years of blogging about faith and fun...and well while not feeling particularly young at all times, trying to think young anyway.

Chao!
