500 Days of Writing

Good Morning! Only two more sleeps to Christmas! I stopped in this morning to write about "Goovermas", or "Sister Christmas", which my sister and I will celebrate today, but when I popped open the blog I noticed a number that I hadn't seen before. 499 I have written four hundred and ninety nine blog posts since 2010. How on earth is that possible? Think of how many there would be if I actually had written semi consistently all this time. I'm trying to change my mindset from, "I'm going to be a writer" to, "I am a writer." That stat definitely helps! My mind immediately kicked into fast forward mode. What to write about? I'm not spending one minute of this milestone on anything political. An old fashioned Christmas story? Eh? I have plenty of those in the archives, I could set up attatchments to them at the end. Goovermas? Sister Christmas? Winter Solstice, and a very strange thing that happened?(that one is definitely coming) There's no way to work through all the scramble in my head to decide which one deserves the honor of being number 500. I still have to get ready to go out into this day. I have Sister Christmas, coffee with Patsy,(that's an upcoming blog also) then work from three until at least nine. I have nothing profound to say about this milestone, except thank you. Thank you for reading, especially for those of you that have been on the entire journey. If you haven't read my earlier blogs,they start out with a lot of online dating nonsense, and the earlier days of The Blogger and The Brown Eyed Man. (Holy crap, I might have just titled a book right there.) Throw in some stories about growing up in the 1970's (GenX O.G.and proud of it!)and just general everyday life and lessons I had learned at that point. I would highly recommend checking it out! I think I'm going to give it a re-read this holiday season, to mark where I've been, and how far I've come along. Have a wonderful Merry Christmas my friends! Tomorrow I'll re-post my Christmas Past stories, today I have to get my feet on the ground to celebrate the present!
