Blogiversary ~ seven years!

Oh, my!  This date almost slipped my mind.  It's been — one, two, three, four, five, six — SEVEN years since I started blogging.

2007 ... My very first post was about Jhumpa Lahiri's The Namesake.
2008 ... I missed my "end of January" blogiversary by a day.
2009 ... I completely missed the day because I was sick enough to require open-heart surgery.
2010 ... I nailed the day with a blogiversary post.
2011 ... I went to church and remembered to post about my blogiversary.
2012 ... I had learned how to schedule the post for "1:30 AM" to match the 1-30 date.
2013 ... I completely missed the day (again) because of pain med confusion as my broken shoulder healed.
At least that's my best guess, a year later.  I don't think "blogiversary" has crossed my mind since 2012.
2014 ... Another year behind me.  What now?  A couple of years ago, I asked you readers what "memes" you liked — and not one single person responded.  A better gauge is the number who comment on the actual memes, like the Booking Through Thursday that I posted earlier today or the Book Beginnings on Fridays.  I think I'll just keep doing what I've been doing, which is basically posting what I'm interested in, whenever I feel like it.
I've got on my blogging shoes, so I'm ready to keep running this blog.

    Congratulations! Seven years is very impressive. I thin this fall will be five for me. Or is it six? I'll have to take a look back to the first post to figure that out. I'm pretty sure it's five.

    I am enjoying blogging more now than I was a while ago when I got all caught up in how many visitors, how many comments, what is everyone else doing, etc. Now I post when I want, about what I want and that feels really good.

    I just checked my first posts: July 2009 for my school blog and November 2009 for the personal one :-)

    Helen, I didn't remember the year, but I do recall changing over from your school blog to your personal blog. I also remember when you changed the color to the one Sophia liked best. And now you have moved on to the purple blog! I've been reading your blog for a long time, apparently from the beginning. Wow!

    You really have been following since the beginning! Sophia insisted on the current purple, but I think I need to change it as it's a bit much on the eyes :-)

    Thanks, Jan and Maphead.

    Yes, Helen, the purple is a bit ... umm ... PURPLE.
