I’ve been thinking about how long I have been blogging and why I keep doing it. Is it just for me to get the words out with the hope that they uplift, encourage, or entertain somebody along the way? Or a way for me to keep a record of my life over the years? It’s more than that.

It’s a way to spread some magic.

And hopefully bring a smile.

But this morning, as I looked in my memories of this day in 2011, I more clearly remembered why I started.

Since those early days 13 years ago when I wrote under the name A Ship Bound for Tarshish, I have had a lot to say. I realize that many of my current friends – both physically in my life today and on social media – may not realize that I do this pretty much weekly. If you’d like to subscribe, you can follow me (see the box on the right) and you’ll never miss a post.

Here’s a link to my 2011 post to sum up what my blog is all about and why I write it. As always, I appreciate everyone who reads my stuff! There’s a lot out there to take up your time! Thank you.

P.S. The cuties in the pictures are two of my precious grandchildren, but I’ll bet you guessed that already!
