Happy Blog-aversary
Today is the one year anniversary of our blog! Jackie wrote the first post on March 23, 2007, and we’ve been writing ever since. Looking back, it’s been a lot of work to keep this going, more than we anticipated, but we’re proud of the fact that, while we haven’t always been able to post something every day, we have written 376 posts in the last year.
One of my favorite cartoons from The New Yorker magazine has one dog saying to another, “I used to keep a blog, but now I’ve gone back to pointless, incessant barking.” There are times when we bloggers, and possibly our readers (certainly our husbands!) wonder why we bother? On the other hand, we like to write and blogging is one way to fulfill that passion, as well as draw attention to worthy causes, correct media inaccuracies, and take our activism to the next level by sharing our perspectives on current and local events. Writing is therapeutic, and some of our posts are purely for venting and never get published, but it also is a wonderful way to clear the mind. As the British novelist, E. M. Forster wrote, “How can I know what I think until I see what I say.” So, we’ll keep writing, and we hope you’ll keep reading. Thanks for visiting us here in the blog-o-sphere!
