The picture above has no relevance to this post whatever, I just liked it, so here it is….enjoy?
So there it is, and here I am, struggling a little it has to be said with the new blocks and paragraphs system for writing, but I’m typing away like a good un and hoping that by some miracle of modern something or other it will look ok when both you and I have to read it.
It’s that time of the year again. WordPress will very shortly tell me that I have reached another anniversary, this time 8 years I believe. This is perhaps the longest I have stuck at anything, with the exception of my job, although I am not sure that you could call writing perhaps one or two posts a year sticking at something. I miss it, writing that is, I miss it a lot. I also miss the way my old brain worked and my sense of humour but age and life has got in the way of both, so I’ve just got to suck it up and adapt.
Usually around this time I also have mental conversations with myself where I discuss whether to carry on or give up, questioning if it is worth paying for domains that I rarely use. Sometimes I think it isn’t and I consider leaving and then I log into the app and I go to the reader and I catch up on all the things I have missed and I see all the people that I love and I think, I cant go, not yet anyway.
A couple of weeks back I did just that and I logged in and I found people I had not spoken to in such a long time, and then I read posts from a few of the people who have been with me on this journey pretty much from the start, albeit with a few breaks in between and it was like someone had given me the warmest hug, it made my heart so happy to read their words.
I’m never going to be the world’s greatest blogger, and nor would I want to be, it’s like a full time job at the start ffs. What I do want to be is here, as much as I can. If I only write two posts a year, then so be it. If no one reads what I write, that’s fine too, it’s for me anyway, but as I have detailed in countless posts before, that is something I lose sight of.
So maybe I will stick around for another year. I might even try and get back into this, I just need to be more disciplined with time by making sure there is space in there somewhere to write, because it’s good for the soul.
I hope you are all well, and I hope to see you soon :)

So very nice to read your words. You are a better blogger than I am. I haven’t written anything since 2019. With all that has happened you would think there would be so much to say but the words are being stubborn. Be well.

I know right, I think about writing all the time and then just worry that I’m going to be writing the same old stuff. Problem is, it shouldn’t matter, we should just write. I like reading your words.

I don’t think I ever posted everyday. At the start I was all like I’m gonna write about this and I’m gonna write about that, and now I have heaps of stuff in my head but I’m not sure everyone is ready to read what I need to write 😂 6 years though , that’s good going. I’ll expect you to write about that!

I still haven’t used the Block Editor, and wonder if I will continue to want to blog when I have no other choice.
Many thanks for following my blog, which is appreciated.
Best wishes, Pete.

It’s not so bad, although what I require is quite simple so I didn’t go into the what, Where’s and whys of it all.
You’re welcome, I always like finding new things to read when I have time :)
