It
is a rather staggering figure when you think about it… 1100 blog posts in 1100
days. It is actually still amazing that I have been able to find something to
write about on each of those days. Of course, there are clearly some days when
one can tell that there wasn’t much to write about but sometimes that is what
happens. It is a simple matter of having to work with the information given no
matter how little that may be. For me, that means life is a lot like work.
On
the other side of things, there have been quite a number of days when there are
multiple events, thoughts, topics that I would like to write about. This
usually has me pulling out my planner and trying to figure out where I can fit
some of these subjects into the schedule. At times this is a rather easy
problem to fix as the topics fit into some of the weekly themes. Other times,
they are beyond the purview of these scheduled posts which leaves only a few
days each week where they can be fit in.
I
guess you could say that this is sometimes just part of the routine. However,
the timeliness of topics can sometimes change things up. Also, the simple
desire to write or not to write has to be taken into account. Topics can be a
factor in this as there are times when I don’t have any desire to write about a
topic that I previously planned no matter how rich the subject matter may be. This
means that, for me, this blog is a lot like work.
All
of that being said, somehow I have managed to put up a post for each day and,
at least on occasion, these posts have resonated, entertained, of flat out
pissed people off. However, more than that, it has started numerous
conversations with people from around the world and with a wide variety of
backgrounds because we share a common idea, interest, or opinion. Sometimes
these communications have surprised me as I received praise for certain stances
that I have taken on a variety of topics. Even those whom have disagreed with
me have at least brought their own opinions to the fore and opened a dialog on
specific topics.
This
blog has always been a means of recording life and part of life is the
wonderful conversations, experiences, and people that I have been able to meet
along the way. So, in essence, this blog has been a means to enhance life and
bring about experiences and provide introductions that I would have otherwise
never had the opportunity to enjoy. It really is interesting how things come
full circle in that regard and makes the time and effort that I have committed
to these words worth much more than the modest investment streaming from the
tips of my fingers.
