PERSONAL/ RAVE: My 50th Post

Today I am writing my 50th post on my blog. It's actually quite a milestone for me, given that I had my doubts when I finally commenced it in January of this year that I would have the determination and self-discipline (not to mention interest) to stick to this blogging malarkey.

Well, I have I stuck to this blogging malarkey. And, quite to my surprise, I have really enjoyed doing it. I have found my blogging experience to be a really terrific means by which I can explore and write about (not to mention even vent!) on issues or stories that have meant a lot to me in the past three months.

I keep telling people how invigorating I have found this blogging experience, even cathartic at times. And that is the honest truth.

It has also been an 'intellectual energizer' of sorts. Somehow, it has forced me to do so much more research and online reading than I probably would have ordinarily done. And that has only been to my benefit. 

Writing my posts on this blog has also made me realize that I really love writing, even in this more 'opinionated, op-ed' style, which has been quite different to the mostly narrative (i.e. storytelling) style of private writing I had done up until I started this blog. 

So, for all these reasons and more, I am grateful for this opportunity to write to my heart's content online and in this format.

May I keep being inspired to write more posts, so that I soon reach another 50...and another 50 thereafter...and...well, as long as I'm enjoying this ride.
