As 2021 was coming to a close, I looked over this website/blog and wondering, should I renew my domain name? Should I keep blogging? I wasn’t sure. I was very focused on the negative[1], at least at first.
The price would be twice as much for the second year. I didn’t blog at all in December, and was it really worth it to pay almost $10 per month for something I only occasionally did? For whatever reason, anytime I post a link on Facebook, no one sees it which means: I didn’t go viral.
Well. So maybe I should let it go, let Husband back it up onto some obscure space he has that has ever email I have ever received from a person and every document I have written since 1992[2].
I even wrote the “good-bye” post to place here before I departed.
And then, I paid the fee for another year and decided I wasn’t done yet. I still have a lot of things to say, and I have the ability to choose to bring discipline to my efforts.
So now I bring you my 2022 New Year’s Resolutions for Letters for Zerrius:
- I am going to add Book reviews.
- Words hard will be a monthly post.
- I want to start the month with a post starting, “In Which I…”[3]
- I want to understand WordPress better and improve the look, feel, and my understanding[4] of how the pages present.
I like these resolutions. I will like tracking them through 2022. I turn 52 on the 12th of this first month of 2022, and I realize – I am not done yet. I may be striving a little less. I hope I am accepting what life brings me better. I hope I am using the many good things that come to me to pass good things on to others.
I also plan to try to write about some of the topics I started as a LfZ, but I found that it was too hard[5] to be ok posting that opinion to the world.
So, stick around if you want to. Look around at some of my older posts if they catch your fancy. I hope to send more thoughts out into the interwebs in 2022 and some of them might just be worth hearing.
[1] As I tend to be in December
[2] Probably, there is a future LfZ on how having enough disk space to save things makes us hoarders of data.
[3] In my mind, it is a reference to the chapters in Winnie the Pooh.
[4] Pretty sure I mean control here.
[5] Pretty sure I mean embarrassing here.
I”m glad you decided to continue. If you get enjoyment out of it think of it as a hobby of sorts, the costs are just part of the effort.
