Year 20

Wow, I am starting my 20th year of blogging!

I still cannot believe that I have been doing this for 20 years now. But yes, I started this blog in 2005, and now, it's entering its 20th year. Amazing, isn't it? I am still am using it as an extension of my brain, with my old habits of chronicling my trips and excursions, my book reviews, my theatre and musical performances still going strong.

Life is still going well. I have a few challenges here and there, yet nothing major and definitely not critical. I have a few projects on my own, and a few health issues, but again, nothing very major, and perhaps one can even consider these as all signs of me ageing slowly but hopefully, gracefully.

Work can be stressful, yet it still is engaging. I have a few trips planned on the horizon. I have traveled to meet friends. And I am going back to certain places that have been significant in the past.

I still debate with myself every now and then whether I would want to keep this blog. But I suppose there is definitely the value of it being an extension of my brain. I have caught myself several times in the recent past consulting my blog just to remember a thing or two from the past. After all, I am ageing, so I cannot fully trust my organic brain nowadays. My blog is a better memory sometimes.

So this is the beginning of Year 20. Again, I still don't know how long I'll keep this blog up, but for the moment, it will stay. It's a nice distraction anyway.

So there, onward to Year 20. I hope you'll still hang around.
