As fat as this year seems to have been, it has not been as fat as I thought , it has been a year of lean cuts and high prices. Not an easy year to 'get fat' as it were. I made a 'vow' to do 365 blog posts in one year and on its own its seems like an easy task. Many would say that they could do that in one day but that isnt the 'idea' the task is to do something 'relevant' every single day (on average) in a year. I have not been the most 'relevant' but I have stuck to the task at hand, all my jokes aside.
It is not easy to be new every day. I made a lot of repeat dishes and posted jokes to fill in the blanks so perhaps and in reality I didnt do what I 'wanted' to do rather than I ended up doing what I 'had' to do.
365 posts later we are none the wiser definitely older and probably less funny. At least I dont have to be a serial poster anymore. Its like running a marathon - I can say I did it.
In the process of 'doing' this blog I made friends along the way, and some of those friends I ended up doing.....kidding just kidding.......not all of them were my friends.......kidding, still kidding........I didnt always make friends I was doing.....thats the truth, but I did walk away learning a little bit more about communication.
I will have a harder time 'not' having a blog than 'having' a blog.

Your year was beautiful Dog...your friend no matter...E
You did it! Not at all an easy task. And if nothing else, one could say it was an interesting year of fairy tales ans resolve. I'm glad it ended on a good note!
I was really struck by one thought you wrote....it's not easy being new every day....how very true....
in fact that is (for me) the curse and blessing of blogging....in one sense it is hard to find something to write about....but in other...it forces you to look around and pay attention so you do have something to write about....
I was thinking recently of quitting the blog....but then I realized that blogging forced me to keep my eyes open on my life and day...and in the end ...that is a good thing.
Blessings in the new year.
Congratulations. It sounded as if you were saying goodbye. I hope that is not the case, you make me laugh. Happy New Year!

I'm with Gina, blogging is an extra reason to look around for things to blog about. And on the way I see so much interesting!
