Time Flies!

Ten Years!  It's been an entire decade since I thought I would enjoy trying my hand at being a blogger. I penned two whole posts . . . and that's as far as I got.  However, I was inspired today by a dear friend who has her own lovely, thought-provoking blog.  She hadn't posted in a year.  "Well, I want to do that again, too," I thought.

However, it had been so long that I couldn't figure out how to get back to the place to do it.  After quite a while of trying to get back to my own blog, I was beginning to believe that there was a time limit that I must have exceeded.  That if you went silent for a decade, your blog would automatically self-destruct, Mission Impossible style, and simply cease to exist.  That made me sad.  So I saved all I could and printed out the two posts I had written a decade ago because I really liked them and was afraid they, too, would vanish.

Turns out my problem was that the blog site did not recognize me as an author of a blog.  I felt personally insulted.  I was looking at my ten year old post of which I was obviously the author, and it was on a blog.  Apparently, it all had to do with how I tried to sign in.  A lot of things change over the course of a decade, like email addresses and passwords.

So, here's to reflections and lessons learned over the past ten years, and to a brand new year ahead already bursting with blessings and mercies just waiting for us every morning.  May we open our eyes and our hearts to receive them.
