Happy Anniversary to Me!

Today marks 10 years since I started posting on this blog. I actually started blogging back in 2008 and have had a few different ones over the years, but this one has been going for a decade now!

I primarily blog as a sort of journal for myself to look back over and see what I have been interested in or thought worthwhile to document over the years. I am really thankful to have a small group of readers and commentors, though, as it adds so much to the experience to share it with other people.

Here’s to many more years of sharing whatever I get up to on this blog!

My 500th Post!

This is my 500th post! I started posting on this blog on August 31, 2016 and am posting this on December 17, 2025, so it has been over 9 years since I began! I have taken some breaks along the way, so it is exciting to reach this milestone.

Looking back over my posts, over half of them (268) have been about jigsaw puzzles. I only started puzzling in 2021, but it quickly became an obsession of mine, and I have done a LOT of puzzles in that time.

The second largest category is books, with 165 posts. I have been a voracious reader my whole life but haven’t always written about the books I read. I have found lately that writing book reviews helps me remember the books more clearly, so I will keep doing it as long as I can.

Posts about other topics are more sporadic, but I have at times shared updates about my life and posted about pets, travel, or other fun things. I don’t have a lot of readers, but I still enjoy posting for myself and truly appreciate those who stop by and leave a like and/or a comment.

Here’s to many more posts to come!
