So.
It’s been ten years of blogging. A lot has happened in my life in ten years. THANK GOD!
Imagine how wretched an individual I would be if I hadn’t had something happen to me in ten years.
When I started this blog I lived in a cheap two-bedroom apartment in Sunnyvale, was about to finish my bachelors degree. I had already been a consultant in Silicon Valley and gotten off just as everyone was getting thrown off.
I figured I would get my college degree, because I knew I needed to move. But you can’t graduate from a college unless you ATTEND it for a while. And I wanted to wrap up the degree.
So, I finished my consultant gig and then finished my degree. Just as I was about to graduate with an English degree I found out about BLOGs.
I had to get a piece of that. I started out on Blogger. Then my brother Bryan bought me a domain name. Then i bought my own domain name. Three platforms later, and now I am still blogging
So much has changed. I had dreams and what I thought the future would hold then.
I had my first laptop then. I am on my fifth laptop now. and I RAN THEM INTO THE GROUND.
I am on my third car.
I am on my second husband.
And I am stuck on my first child. She’s pretty great
I am living in my second home and on my 6th mortgage.
I’ve had one cat, he’s dead. oh wait, I had joint custody of a cat with my brother. He got full custody. That cat is gone too.
I am still living with my first dog.
How does one measure the length of ten years of life?
Ten years. One Blog.
I am glad that I have been along for part of the ride, Murphy. Can’t wait to see what the next ten years brings!
I will never forget the great gift you gave me by introducing me to blogging those 10 (!) years ago. I’ve always enjoyed reading your insights, and I sometime stand in wonder at your sense of wonder. It’s a beautiful thing. Happy Anniversary, Gal!
