Welcome To Being50.com 2

This post is an update to: Welcome To being50.com, posted February 10, 2013, http://www.being50.com/2013/02/welcome-to-being50com.html.  This post was the second post as I started what I had hoped would be a very long journey into the world of blogging.

In keeping with tradition this is the second post of the beginning of the second calendar year that www.being50.com  is in existence.  My one year anniversary of this Blog will be on February 10, 2014.  I find myself still excited about the project, and particularly proud of the accomplishments at every level.  In a little less than eleven months I have posted 280 times (that is an average of more than 25 times per month or one every 1.2 days).  I couldn’t perform this task for pay, unless I loved it, and I do.  I won’t tell you how many page views I have because you will think that I am bragging, just know that the following of readers is worldwide and includes Russia, China, England, Ireland, Germany, France, Australia, continental USA, Alaska, Hawaii, and Canada, I won’t attempt to mention them all because I will most likely leave somebody out.  USA is the country where most of my followers come from, with China in second place, and Canada within 300 in third place.

Our minds are still the driving force of this blog.  There is much to discuss, and reminisce about: our parents and grandparents, the cars we drove, our music, clothing fashion, our schools, our friends, on and on.  I like to think that we can travel back in time any time we want because the “Time Machine’” sits squarely on our shoulders, and yet I realize that we are not all equally equipped to make those time travel journeys, so join me and I will be happy to be the one element that triggers your memories, and time travel.

The amazing thing about our minds and memories is that we are able to trigger the good memories and fun times, while not dragging out the perhaps negative times that we just as soon keep in the past.  Always remember that through memories you can revisit but we are unable to go back except in our dreams.  Simply think about a favorite time in your past, 20 or 30 minutes before you fall asleep, and you may just learn to visit in your dreams.  I testify to you, that I regularly do.

I extend a formal invitation to all the readers of this blog to visit regularly, and I promise to maintain this blog in a way like few others do.  You will find fresh postings on a variety of subjects, and always respectful and considerate to the readers.  Thank you for joining me on this special project, and best wishes for a Happy New Year 2014!  The best is yet to come……
