A side benefit to being a blogger

28 December 2009

I just got finished reading through my blog posts for 2009, in an effort to put together a post about my favorite blog posts of the year. (That’ll come later in the week.)

It was a surprisingly enjoyable exercise. There were plenty of posts I didn’t remember writing. I had fun being reminded about certain events. I got to correct typos. I even had some pleasant surprises, like when I came across some especially cogent points I’d made or some turns of phrase that I really liked.

I loved looking at some of the pictures I’d posted. For example, this picture of my cat, Joe, impeding my progress makes me smile. It’s from my August 18 post, My role model in persistence.

It's hard to type when Joe does this.

I was surprised to see that I’d written two different posts about why I love Twitter. When I wrote most recent one, on November 16, I had no recollection of the one I wrote on April 24. And the great thing was that they were nearly identical. My reasons for loving Twitter haven’t changed. Hey, at least I’m consistent.

I just re-read the post I wrote on December 31, 2008, called The glass is half full about how the economic downturn, which had a negative effect on my revenue, had a surprising upside. Technically, I can’t include that in my list of favorite blog posts of 2009, so I’m wanting to give that post a shout out today.

Enjoy this last week of the year! For me, it’s about looking back and looking forward. About setting goals and tying up loose ends. I hope you enjoy it as much as I plant to.
