After all these years...I still would say just about the same thing I did in early 2011.
I started blogging Alchemy of Clay (First Edition) about then.
Here's an early post. 2011/01/back-in-black-mountain

Seven Years
Seven years of Alchemy of Clay.
Oct 4, 2010 I began sharing my life as a person with one hand in clay, another on the shutter of a camera, one eye looking at Ancestry, and the other looking at the beauty in my own neighborhood of Black Mountain, NC.
This was my first post. Alchemy of clay, First Edition - Changes, that's what it's all about, in the alchemy of my life, and clay.
I also combined my interest in art with goddesses, archeology, my personal life, and a few rants expressing my opinion. It is also noteworthy that I've deleted a few of the posts, so there are 196 remaining in "Alchemy of Clay First Edition." That's because I've become a bit more discerning in viewing my own work, and I imagine as I continue to look back at my pots, I'll delete more posts.
This is my 1477th posting at "Alchemy of Clay and Living in Black Mountain," if the counter is correct. I'm not going to question it. I stopped posting to "When I was 69" which was more personal, and had most of my family genealogy posts. Now I post that information here on the regular Alchemy blog.
I've also enjoyed meeting many new friends here in Blogland. I list most of them in the column over on the right. I'm so glad to have comments from a few of them. I am interested when a friend may say, "Oh I read your blog all the time." In order for anyone to comment I've allowed anonymous comments to be accepted, so you don't have to have a blog to add a comment. I do still monitor comments. We'll see how much spam this generates!
I just had my iPad updated for newest version, and blogger no longer opens. There's a new app which lets me read it, but without the right hand column. Geese, now I wonder if anyone will keep looking at blogs. I could just start writing things over on FB, where they disappear in a flash, and aren't read in depth, because everyone is rushing to say something themselves, rather than taking a moment and reflecting on each other's ideas. Drat and dang. I won't be able to read all my friend's blogs on the iPad at all anymore, because I would read what had just been posted by them over on that right hand column.
I try to have something scheduled here every day. There are times it can't happen.
For the seven good years we've had together, salud!

How many years of blogging about pots and...
Alchemy of Clay First Edition LINK HERE came out Oct. 10, 2010. After 195 postings I closed it Dec 2, 2012, mainly because I ran out of space on Blog for more photos. And I gave up WordPress because of photo limitations.
But Goddess in Clay (Here) was before that. This is fun, I've now found it started on Oct. 9, 2008 HERE and the last post was May 17, 2011.

I been blogging not quite as many years as I've lived in North Carolina, namely eight. So this year marks my 7th birthday as a blogger. I'm also not mentioning the three other blogs to which I kind of contributed daily for several years. Goodness, when did I find time to live?
Who really cares? Me. I like having an independent source of my memoirs of blogs as well as pots. Oh my goodness, there were so many chunky learning ones back then (pots, I'm obviously still chunky!) And I found I could review a year's postings at the end of the year and actually delete the ones that were less than stellar. Now I think I was a bit heavy handed on the delete key last year, so this year I'll be a bit more careful. Once deleted from blogland, things are gone. But wait, I do still have those posts, because I send each one to an email address, and don't delete those ever. Ah, double backups for saved files!
Thought for today:

Thought for today:
Stop using the past to poison your present. Don't let who
you used to be prevent you from getting the things in life that are available
to you now.
What you seek is seeking you.
