It’s my blog’s birthday!
Belated actually. She turned one on Sunday and I totally forgot about it. I guess if I was a guy, I’d make a bad husband too. But let me get straight to the speech.
It’s been awesome really. And as with all undertakings in my life, I’ve learned more than I have shared. But isn’t that the point? Because really, who says I am an authority in the subject of spinsterhood?
When you think about it, it’s your contributions and comments that make the blog what it is. That continuous discourse (and fights) we have are the very life of this blog. And even those who read and walk away to ponder, share, retweet my links or simply like the posts have been a continuous encouragement. To those who go further to reblog my posts or mention me in their various blogs, I’m certainly humbled.
It isn’t easy juggling this blog, another and an 8 to 5 (to sometimes midnight ) job that requires me to write 14.5 times more. There are days I ask myself, what was I thinking starting SS? And at that very moment when I go silent and concentrate on my day job at @nyakeruw shouts from the TL “Blog Woman. BLOG!!” Another source of encouragement.
It’s never about a lack of content. There’s always content no matter the subject. The task sometimes has been how to be original, rational (.., and funny) about such a sensitive subject as marriage and spinsterhood (without any experience in either). My drafts are good evidence of this conflict. If any of you bloggers out there have more drafts than published posts then you know what I mean.
Moving forward, and taking all these experiences in mind there are a number of changes that I’ll introduce in due time. Nothing fancy, but certainly provocative.
For now though.., raise your glasses with me!
Nittz,
Are you saying I’m derailing you from your work? I am good influence. No?
Happy birthday SoulSpinster! I’m proud of the far that you’ve come. Your blog really helped put many things into perspective and I in turn, made very radical changes in my life. That will be told in a another forum.
For now, a toast to many more.
I expect a gift being fan numero uno nini nini
How does that even work? Shouldn’t I be the one that gets the gifts. Aki wewe!
Anyway…, no you don’t distract me from my work, but I bet if my boss met you, you wouldn’t live to see another day. That said.., I am glad this blog helped you put things into perspective and you made very radical changes.., yadda yadda – …, but why, you sound you so serious there girl
*shudders and continues shuffling*
Your boss would love me
. Motivation of employees by distraction. There is something like that. No?
You see, you are the parent here and the blog is your baby. I am your baby’s friend. Should I not be the one receiving gifts along with your baby? Think about it.
I am serious because that was some serious ish right there! Plus I have an image to preserve
Hope this year is as interesting as the last.
Challenge accepted.
Hope the next year is as interesting or even better than the just ended one.
Good one.
Heard you loud and clear.
