Yipppeeee! I Am Eighty!
I know most eighty year olds don't react or celebrate in this way. But this is not the announcement of my eightieth Birthday or anniversary or anything. This is the eightieth post on my blog.
I wrote my first post on this blog on Friday, November 12, 2010. Today 3years, 2 months and 15 days later I am euphoric to be writing the eightieth.
Just to check on the date of when I wrote my first post, I did an archive search. It was interesting to see how I have written over the years. The blog started with all the excitement of a new project at hand. After a month I had forgotten all about it.
Soon came 2011. I wrote a post every two or three months. Still not very regular.
Then something happened. With 2012 I decided to make a difference. Though not regularly but I was posting, at least once every month. Soon once became twice and then I lost count. I even posted many times in a single day. Talk about going full throttle.
The readers who have been there since the beginning, ones who have joined later and others who keep visiting it on and off - Thank you All.
Allah, thanks for being there to guide me as I type away. Without You, I am nothing.
The eightieth is all about oak, as it signifies how far one has come.
As I celebrate the Oak post, I am reminded of my promise to those who commented on my Golden Jubilee post. The promise holds good and I will soon dedicate a post to each of you.
Until next time
Oak-ly yours
Fatima
