October and November hold quite a few anniversaries for me: my birthday and The Kid’s birthday. Getting National Board Certified. Finishing chemo.
Today is none of those.
I made it a year! Every day, a post has gone live. Days I was sick. Days I was on vacation. Days that were just regular days. Sometimes written and scheduled ahead of time; sometimes written ahead of time but not scheduled and then oh crap I didn’t publish that post yet!; sometimes written, edited, and posted in short order.
Not all of them have been my best work, but I think that’s within the realm of reasonable.
It feels good to have made it this long. I recommend trying it. (If you do, let me know!)
Woot! Yay! Hooray!
Of course, once I hit “publish,” the last square on that year (in the photo) will fill in.
Getting followers was not my goal, but as you started to trickle in and accumulate, I started to notice. I was hoping to hit an even 100 followers by today and thought I had 97, but when I went into stats areas I don’t typically go (looking for something else), I noticed that email subscribers are counted separately. 100 followers!
In chronological order, here are my posts from the last year with the most likes. (They’re set to open in new tabs.)
Update: accountability to self
Junk on vacation: how I managed it
School, escapism, perfectionism
Standards and accountability and homework
Goal-setting, goal-pursuing, and real life
Making just a little time to let yourself feel better
As I mentioned a couple of months ago, I’m going to cut down to three or four posts per week so I can dedicate more time to working on my book. I foresee returning to daily posting once that writing project is complete.
Thanks for reading, for liking, for commenting. I appreciate the interaction. I hope I’ve made a positive impact on your life in this journey.
Awesome! I’d love to get back into blogging, but I fear I don’t have much to write other than political diatribes. Congratulations! It really is an accomplishment!
Thanks!
