Sixth Blogaversary

Posted on by

Secondary Roads

Secondary roads,
Made for folks in no hurry,
Better for the soul.

Number-6

It was six years ago today, that I published my first blog post.  At this time each year, I reevaluate my continued activity in the blogosphere.  I’m surprised that this year I’m more happy than usual to continue.

A lot of friends have come in the last six years, and most of them have gone.  Many have dropped out.  Others just drifted away.  That’s not why I’m content to continue this blog.

There is another group of friends that have come and have remained.  I’ll not name them lest I omit one, which would be an unforgivable error.  These friends keep me interested, informed and amused.  Words and images skillfully crafted and arranged keeps me coming back to them for more.  My blogger buds, are always posting fresh, creative material.

This post was going to be a retrospective on Secondary Rds.  I was diverted from that path.  In thinking back over the life span of this blog, it became obvious that the blog, as life itself, is not so much about me and what I have to say as it is about the connections that I make with others and the relationships that together we develop and nurture.

Thanks to you for being there.  Are you ready for 2015?  If so, allons-y.*

  1. Other bloggers, yourself included, are awesome folks, and the connection w/them is def. the best part of blogging. 🙂

    Happy Bloggiversary to you!

  2. Congratulations on six years of blogging. Thanks for allowing me to travel down those country roads, see beautiful Michigan scenery, and be introduced to your family. Keep up the good work!

    • Thanks, Vee. It has been a pleasure to for me. I’ve enjoyed reading about you on your blog. Blessing to you and yours.

    • Thanks, Shark. :tiphat: Sylvia and I are particularly happy that it we have more than an online friendship. 😎

  4. Just keep on blogging! I may not comment very often but I’m still walking beside you. Our paths may not travel the same route but the desired final destination certainly is the same!

    • Thanks, Bill. I’m deeply touched by your words and share the sentiment. See you at our final destination, if not before. :cloud9:

      • It’s too bad that we don’t have a GPS to navigate the journey. But come to think about it, WE DO!
        The problem is that we tend to try and be the masters.
        Well, any way, happy 6th year! Give Sylvia a hug for me.,

        • Yes we do. I agree. As someone once said, “If God is your copilot, you are sitting in the wrong seat.”

          Sylvia sends a hug back to you.

  5. Congratulations on 6 years! I have enjoyed meeting you both online and in person—you have been a blessing in my life. Like you, I have questioned continuing the blog, but I have found some great friendships through this medium that I am not willing to let go. Here’s to many more, my friend!

    • Thanks, Lin. :tiphat: You are another that came early to my party and remained. I appreciate that. Indeed, here to many more years.

  6. Congratulations on the completion of your sixth year! Your perseverance is a blessing to us. In these words you pretty much said it all: “. . . it is about the connections that I make with others and the relationships that together we develop and nurture.”
