It's hard to believe that I've been blogging now for 14 years. Most days I post whatever I want and you guys seem to like my posts so thank you for sticking with me and visiting. My blog has changed over the years. I started out writing about what it was like having a teenager and what was happening in my day to day life. I've been in the same apartment for 21 years and things are always crazy around here so I started my weekly post about my apartment life. I think that might be the most fun to do because I never know what might happen from week to week. I started reading more books because of the great book recommendations from my fellow bloggers and I started sharing more book reviews because of you. I started taking and sharing more of my own pictures, reviews and thoughts because of all the encouragement I've received over the years from the other bloggers I've visited.
A lot of you have been with me back when I had hamsters, gerbils, rats and now my dog. You were here to lend me emotional support when my mom died and shared my joy when my grandson was born. Ken and I will be celebrating our 29th year together in September which is hard to believe.
I've vented here, shared my advice, my thoughts, and met a lot of wonderful people. Some of you have been friends since I started and some of you are new friends which I love meeting. So for all of you that have been around a long time and for my newer friends I want to say thank you for visiting, commenting and enjoying what I've been posting over the years. I hope we're all around blogging for many years to come.
Huge congratulations.

DeleteI'm just shy of 14 years. I started in 06. However I didn't really get followers until around 2010. The whole blogging community peaked for me around 2014. Did you experience the same?
ReplyDeleteProbably around the same time because I started making more comments on other blogs. I started getting a bigger following around then. More and more blogs popped up too.
