Happy BLOG-iversary
Well, I posted last about the “anniversary” of my diagnosis, and I was going to similarly post about the anniversary of this blog, but I was corrected. Apparently, in the blog world, the anniversary of a blog is called a blog-iversary. Whatever.
When friends and colleagues told me about their blogs, I was hesitant to initiate one, as I didn’t feel I had anything to really write about. When I was diagnosed with cancer, though, the blog seemed an easy way to keep people updated on my health / well-being and, thus, I started to blog (and blog…and blog…and…).
Though I don’t blog as much as I used to, there are still a reasonable number of people who continue to check on my blog fairly regularly. I continue to be humbled by their interest in me and my life. What’s even more mind boggling (bloggling??) is that I have had almost 57,000 visits (and almost 430,000 hits) to my blog in the past year, averaging about 170 visits to the blog daily. Now, I know in many circles that might seem insignificant, but it seems pretty impressive to little ole me.
Meanwhile, I am enjoying not going to the doctor every other week. I have been keeping busy with scouts and life (indeed, I’m getting ready this evening to go family camping with my family and the cub scout pack in which I am a leader). Rain? I laugh at rain…well, not really, but what can one do?
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to wish my wife of almost 19 years a very Happy 13th anniversary of her 29th birthday. I firmly believe that without MaryBeth’s support during the past year, I would not have done nearly as well as I have.
