And just like that, Leaves of Grace is 18 years old! On this same day, I posted my very first blog. It has been my regular writing fare since.
Every four days (sometimes one, two, or three), I post a new blog. I have never missed a beat except that one time when I was hospitalized, but I quickly made up for it by blogging almost daily.
Why do I still do it? Well, I am still breathing.
Blogging has been a panacea, a stress buster, an outlet, and often my prayer of thanksgiving for the undeserved grace the Lord grants me every day. It is a platform where I could write about my thoughts without censure. The editors are me and myself.
To celebrate, I borrowed a birthday cake from my favorite online haunt: Pinterest.
It includes pink flowers, which came to join my leaf header at the beginning of the presidential election campaign in 2021 and have remained. Pink is the color of hope and hope never dies.
For how long will I be blogging? As I say often, till my last breath. Or, till my brain addles, whichever comes first.
“. . . we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day.” 2 Corinthians 4:16
