Ten bloomin' years - Yep ten!

Seems only fitting that I 

should chronicle what I have done

here for the past ten years:

The anniversary is this month, 

coming up soon.

It's a bit of a read sorry...

I never intended to blog this long,

or to write such a mishmash of ideas

 and memories, especially as I started out on a whim.

 I am happy however that I did take that first step.

My first words were:

"The kids will not believe that I did this

 on my own without nagging them for help. 

Tonight was another sleepless night, 

so why not give it a try? 

Please bear with me as I learn to navigate 

these treacherous waters of the internet and blogging.

 I will attempt to learn quickly

 and try to be if not entertaining, then informative."

I was shocked to read that the sleeping issue

 went back so far,

that's where journaling comes in handy.

Yesterday I spent time reviewing the years, 

stopping to read a few here and there

 remembering 

family moments,

watching the years slip away.

I wanted a journal of sorts

and it is what it is.

I tried to never blather on 

so as to have a post each day,

but indeed blather is here and there. 

I wrote if I had something to say,

or to share.

Lots of us started out here in 08.

Most that I knew then have gone away completely,

or jumped to daily postings on IG

and Facebook. I won't touch FB and I barely 

do IG. My little oldgreymare corner

is just right for me.

 A few of my post links are below, 

I couldn't tell you why I selected 

this particular hodgepodge of ten.  

Some or all may be new to you.

Thank you

every one of you

for your 10 years of 

 support

friendship

laughter

advice

and love
