An Exciting Anniversary

Today is the fourth anniversary since the creation of this blog, coffeewithandi. Not including this new year, I’ve posted 813 times. There were 13,502 views; 5,626 visitors; and approximately 329,400 words written. (In all fairness, during difficult times in my life, I critiqued, edited, and reposted old posts, which are included in these totals.)

This is truly very exciting to me because, you see, if I would have looked at the big picture, it never would have been created. All those big numbers would have shut me down.

On the day of my first post, January 25, 2020, if I had known on that day that by the end of that year, I need to post 162 times and write 88.7 thousand words, I would have failed that day. The mountain would’ve looked too high and the ocean just way too deep.

I have learned (mostly the hard way) that my life needs to be walked in bits at a time. One week at a time. One day at a time. And often one minute at a time.

So today I rejoice that I didn’t walk away from the challenge of writing, and continuing to write. I still have so much inside this head that wants/ needs to come out. Hopefully, I’ll continue for many more years.

But, truthfully, if I didn’t have readers (and from all over the world), I would have given up as well. I now have 169 followers. So THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for reading my posts and still coming back for more. Thank you for referring my blog to others and for your likes and comments. I just can’t thank you enough. ♥️
