A year ago, this blog was birthed
Upon a happy whim.
To learn to blog was my intent;
A useful skill it seemed.
What would I write? What could I share
That others would want to read?
I loved my life, and so Voila!
Joy was this blog’s creed.
At first I fussed like one obsessed;
Each detail must be right!
The theme was tweaked a thousand times…
I worked till night turned light.
Like all first loves, things settled down
And finally found a groove.
A year of blogging up my sleeve
Left nothing more to prove.
Twas time to say goodbye , I thought.
This blog has served its use.
Yet it was hard to kill my baby;
And so many friends I’d lose.
But whence from here? I asked myself.
Another year? What is the goal?
Then with a smile, it came to me:
The purpose of my soul.
Think deeply, speak gently, love much, laugh a lot,
Work hard, give freely, be kind.
This creed that guides my life, I’ll share
With those of the same mind.
Thank you, my friends, for your support
In this blog’s early phase.
May every sunset bring you peace,
And sunrise bring joyful days.
