It’s a new year, and I’m happy to greet it. As I mentioned in one of my last posts in December, I realize everyday that I am feeling happier and healthier with each day. My move in January 2024 pretty much wasted me for over a year. Moving by myself at 75 was too much. If I had to ever do it again, someone else has to be doing the arranging, packing, and moving. Not me! Of course, I said that when I moved to my house back in 2010. LOL
Today I’m doing a look back at last year with thoughts for the future. In 2025, the blog had over 102.6K visitors. I’m thrilled and thankful!
The top 10 posts visited last year:
10. Fast & Filling Meals (June 14, 2022)
8. Green Avocado Spinach Smoothie (April 29, 2024)
7. Sweet Potato Apple Cranberry Bake (November 2, 2020)
6. Summer Squash Quiche With Thyme (June 26, 2017)
5. A Fast Meal of Linguine With Red Clam Sauce (February 26, 2023)
4. Easy Cucumber & Onion Salad (June 21, 2021)
3. All I Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten (December 8, 2018)
2. Roasted Potatoes & Spinach (March 4, 2024)
#1. Cheesy Broccoli Potato Bake (September 6, 2021)
The Future
I thank everyone who drops by and especially those of you who give me feedback. I must admit I usually write for myself, but that seems to be ok. I’m not that original, which is another way of saying a lot of us are thinking about the same things.
The future is the question. I’m running out of recipes, and I’m tired of them. You probably noticed that 8 of the top 10 posts of all time are recipes. I appreciate that. If I find something really good to fix and eat, I, of course, will share it.
Sometimes, I’m inspired by a thought, something I read, or something visual I’ve watched. I am now in the position where I am more fluid. Like many bloggers, I also share photos of what I see. I’m thinking that you will see more of that plus a few fun posts from photos and memes I see that make me laugh. I do believe the world needs more humor, laughter, and, as always, kindness.
During January, I will also be looking back at all the posts I’ve done. If it’s not a great post, and nobody goes to see it, I might decide to delete it. Do you have any idea how many photos I’ve uploaded over the years? That has to slow the blog down. Let’s face it, lots of my photos are pretty ordinary.
I’m happy you stuck around long enough to finish this babbling discourse. God bless all of you. Thanks for being my online friends!
