Today is Day 2 of The In-Between Things blog-versary! It’s been a year! I feel like I’m still trying to figure out what I’m doing, but I also feel like it has been a very edifying experience and am looking forward to discovering what year two has in store.
A few numbers to make things seem important:
- 1 person
- 4 categories
- 52 weeks
- 145 posts
In celebration, I decided that this week we would take a look back at the past year by highlighting five favorite posts for each category.
I was sure that it would be simple to skim through and pick my faves. Not so fast my friend! Wow, there is a lot there. I also noticed formatting issues and little typos on pretty much every post (thank you for tolerating my imperfections). Other than the corrections, there weren’t really any posts that stood out to me. On the plus side, I guess that means that the writing is at least of a consistent quality (for better or worse). On the minus side, it made it challenging to pick out a few posts in each category to highlight, so I’ve tried to go with just a range of topics. I’ve re-opened the comments on these posts, please let me know what you think of them. And if your favorite posts weren’t highlighted, please leave a comment here about which one(s) you feel were overlooked.
Kitten Tuesday (38)
I have been regaling you with minutia about my cats since they were little, baby kittens. Sometimes these posts are the toughest to write because even though I would like to spend all day, every day staring at these guys, sleeping cats doesn’t always translate into something that someone would want to read. I anticipate Kitten Tuesdays will be spending more time exploring provocative topics such as careers for cats in the coming year. And when all else fails, I will just bombard you with cute kitten pictures.
I was listening to a podcast on my walk the other day and it opened with this quote:
“Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself…”
– Carl Jung
It struck me that this is what I was feeling when I decided to start this blog. I was looking for an outlet to communicate. And even though writing is a solitary endeavor, I do feel more connected by having this outlet to explore different things and share my thoughts.
Thank you for reading.
