Today is the eight-year blogaversary of Secondary Roads. Out of curiosity, I looked for the first post. It is no longer in the archive. Out of good taste, I suspect the author deleted it.
By custom, I’d post an image with a number 8 to mark this occasion, but I think the above image above provides the better message. Otherwise you might see something like this:
Somehow this image seems out of place in this space. Secondary Roads is about living a plain and simple life. Shortly after Christmas, I found this in a daily devotional guide: “It was a simple [story] from an old friend living a simple life, reminding me that simple isn’t naive or stupid; it’s direct and unpretentious.”
Sounds like a good way to live. Hey look! A squirrel.
I think that doing 8 years of blogging is a great record, especially when so well done!!!
Thank you very much, Grace.
I’m not sorry you are open. Congrats on your perseverance, and I like that quote.
While the sign does not come out of our American culture, I find myself able to strongly identify with the thought. When I first read that quote, I felt that it summarized the essence of this blog as I intend it to be.
Congratulations on eight years of blogging. Your site is beautifully designed and I enjoy reading your entries. Now on to eight more.
Thanks you very much, Vee. I do plan to continue, but my commitment is not as firm as a marriage vow.
