I HAVE BEEN BLOGGING HERE FOR 1 YEAR


I was curious so I just took a look. It has been a year since I started blogging here. My first post was in March 2015. It feels so much longer than that. I feel like I know most of you a long time. I will celebrate this Sunday after 12 am by talking. I want to say that I am happy to have met most of you. The rest of you, let's just say, it's been interesting.

Yes it does but for some reason, it seems longer. Thanks for your comment, Bob.

You have posted a lot of blogs in the past year Elaine. You always have a positive approach no matter what others think. You are you and no one can take that away from you. Good job and continue on with your posting.

I also am surprised that you have not been here longer. It seems like you settled in and became part of the SFF family.

I'm very glad you stayed

It only takes a drop of ink to make a million people think. There are many stories.

Elaine, You've gotten a lot of mileage out of that one year. Your contributions here have been both prolific and consistently intriguing. I'd like to believe that Speak Your Mind will be a permanent fixture in the SFF blogs.

Hang in there. When those ten days are up, you'll be coming out singing!

It does seem longer to me too, Ann. I looked and was surprised it has only been a year. Thanks for that lovely comment.

Thanks so much, MrsRichard. I called my blog Speak Your Mind because to me, that is what blogging is about. I didn't want to write posts that are one sided. I wanted to hear what others have to say on various topics.

Come out singing? Only if my singing voice has improved during my silence.

I like reading all your interesting and fun blogs and I also like to read your sweet replies to everyone. To me it seems like you've only been here a short time but not a whole year already.

Thank you, bijou. It is strange that for me, it feels longer than a year.

Shuel I just checked my blogs to see when I started blogging. I couldn't believe it was 10 years ago. I don't blog so much now. I guess now that I am retired I don't have any scintillating news to write about.
