For the very first time, I started to read all of my previous blog posts starting at the beginning, nearly four years ago. I put this off for a while, as I wanted to have plenty to read, instead of looking back every couple of months, or even annually. There’s definitely a lot of growth (mentally, spiritually, and maturity) since I started blogging….there are posts that I read and cringe, and there are posts that make me truly grateful. And to think, I used to have a crippling fear of writing term papers, but yet I’ve written over 150 blog posts!
Life has thrown its share of curveballs over these past four years, and having this outlet of putting my thoughts and feelings in an organized format has been incredibly helpful and rewarding, as I don’t feel the stress that I used to carry around constantly, because I kept things complete to myself. As much as I’m an introverted extrovert, writing this blog has allowed me to be more open with people on my own terms.
A heartfelt thank you to those who have shown their support of the blog, and to those who take time out of their busy lives to give it a glance. You have no idea of how much that means to me.
The next year is going to have plenty of new experiences….being a grandfather, more travel, and life with Otto of course…I hope you’ll all continue to follow me on the journey.
