This day two years ago I wrote my first blog. I don't write every week. I just write when I think I have something to write about. I have written 158 blogs in these two years. Any writing you do improves your writing. I know I need improvement but at least I try. I have written for three newspapers for a long time. When I first started at Abilene Reporter they had me write a short story so they could see if I knew how to write. He said he could tell I was a writer by the way I wrote. So, hey I am a writer.
It is nice to go back and read some of the blogs I have written. Some are kind of interesting. At least to me. I know several of my friends on facebook always read my blogs. And I always read my friend Judy's too. She is a published author. I hoped someday to write a mystery but it is not going to write itself. You have to work at it to do it and I cant seem to find the time.
Anyway I guess I will just keep on with my blog. I had a busy day today. I went shopping this morning at Kohl's. On the way home I stopped by my favorite BBQ place and got a sandwich with potato salad. Later today I went with Jana to clean a car lot we have done for 10 years. Then we went to office supply place to get started on school supplies for kids. That is the smart way to do it. She gets school supplies early when they are on sale.
I cooked a cornish hen and we had a salad for dinner. Now I am in my bedroom finishing this blog. Then I will be reading " Wedding Cake Murder" before I go off to sleep.
I have a good life that I am very grateful for. I read. I write. I may not be rich but I manage to pay my bills. I am healthy. I still work at 71.
Count your blessings. I do.
