Four!!!!!

fourToday is my Blogaversary.  I’ve spent most of the morning trying to figure out how best to convey what the past four years of blogging has brought to me and what it has meant to me.  I thought about reposting my first blog post but that didn’t seem to fit.  I started writing a little poem using the letters in ‘FOUR YEARS” as the start of each line.
First I found Six Until Me
Of course that led me to the DOC.
Right, I only got as far as “FO” before I lost my inspiration.  Trying to list all of the things I’ve learned seemed pretty dull and would make for an epically long post.  Talking about going from someone who was embarrassed to talk about diabetes to someone who won’t shut up about it has been done before.  A paragraph about what my life might be like if I hadn’t started this blog four years ago seemed like a good idea, until I wrote-deleted-rewrote-redeleted repeat repeat repeat and still had nothing.

Four years of rambling on about diabetes . . . . . and I can’t think of a damn thing to say.  Except that it still feels like I’m only getting started on my journey.  I’m not sure where it is taking me, but I thankful to have you along with me.

  2. Happy Blogaversary! (I love how we PWD'ers coin our own word, btw) I am only almost 4 months in .. but love it. And I'm SO glad you started writing yours! You've been a huge inspiration and help to me, personally, not to mention the bookoos of other folks out there! Well done, my friend.

    Better not let the mister know that the word "blogaversary" can have the effect of ". . and I can’t think of a damn thing to say"
