My 100th blog

This is my 100th blog to-date and that calls for a little celebration.

Whether the readership of my Blog has gone up or not since I started to blog in December 2008, it doesn’t matter.

All I wanted was some place where I could just litter my thoughts for whatever they are worth and I think I have found it in this Blog.

It has given me numerous hours of joy and fun in creating stories, selecting music-videos that I like and I must have sipped thru’ literally thousands of quotable quotes to find those appropriate ones that I wanted to mention. Wow, it was painstaking to say the least, at times even exhilarating but it was good.

I don’t know who else I must thank apart from my host, Google’s Blogspot.com for making all these possible. God forbid that I should miss any one out whose credit is due. If I did, please forgive me. I want you to know that it’s inadvertent and not deliberate.

A big Thank You goes to all you good readers too for your patience and support. I hope you have enjoyed reading my pieces as much as I have enjoyed putting them down in this Blog for all to see.

Some day this Blog will have to come to an end. I don’t know when but so long as I have my breath and pen and God helping I will continue writing for as long as my love for it has not waned.

Well, you could say I have been smitten by a love bug for some time; that bug which is “reading and writing” I hope will stay on strong for the rest of my years!

You know, William Makepeace Thackeray once said, “There are thousands of thoughts lying within a man that he does not know till he takes up the pen and writes.” Do you know that you could be one of them too?

“The act of putting pen to paper encourages pause for thought, this in turn makes us think more deeply about life, which helps us regain our equilibrium.” ~So said one Norbet Platt. This observation is very encouraging.

In conclusion allow me to echo what James Michener had said which is this, “I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions.” Just imagine it! You could say I am in love with that too.

Did I say celebration somewhere well I am ready to go? So, I’m signing off but it’s just for now. I’ll be back.

Cheers!
