Hello Again World!
Four years ago today, I started this blog with a simple post: “Hello World!”
It was a Sunday. This time, it’s a Friday.
The first comment on my blog, which occurred just one day after my first post, was from Michael Kwan. He’s still actively blogging.
Many of the other early commenters are not. There are a few still around, though their sites have changed over the years and, with some of them, I’m not sure if they are being run by the same person or not.
This blog started out as danBlogs.com. Less than two weeks later, I changed it to dcrBlogs.com.
It started out with a bit of silliness, then got serious, got silly, delved back into serious and has now descended into general silliness. So, it’s come full circle.
Today is also my 1,200 day of consecutive daily blogging. There have been some bumps along the road–Internet and power outages and whatnot–but I have counted it so long as I had a post ready to go. At any rate, I’m not going for, nor am I likely to get, a Guinness World Record here, so I am not going to worry too much over technicalities.
I had planned to announce that today would be the end of my daily blogging. Lately, my posts have been lame anyway. But, maybe I’ll stick it out for another 50 days. I wrote here that I wouldn’t likely go for either 2,000 or 1,500, but maybe 1,250. Well, I’m fifty days shy of that, which is under two months, so I might as well go for 1,250, right?
Dan:
I am still here! I am still blogging. However, I don’t blog every single day. I only blog when I have points to make or when I am in the right mood.
I still read your blog, but I am just not too active on leaving comment.
Keep up blogging, because you never know who is reading your blog post. You can still change other people’s life!
BTW, how is your business going lately?

I am really glad I have let go of blogging- it wasn’t just the blogging that was holding me back but continuing to do things that weren’t fun anymore out of obligation. I have only one life and since I adopted a minimalist lifestyle, I have a lot more time to explore things. I would strongly advise you not to go on with another 50 days of constant blogging. Life is too short. Cut back to 2 or 3 days a week and spend the off days enjoying offline activities.
Dan:
I think Michelle is right. Life is really short. If blogging don’t really do any good to improve our life, why bother to wast time blogging.
