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.
